Three New Hampshire hospitals ─ Manchester-based Catholic Medical Center, Wolfeboro-based Huggins Hospital and Peterborough-based Monadnock Community Hospital ─ completed their affiliation agreement to form GraniteOne Health.
The three hospitals' boards also approved the organization's 11-member board of trustees ─ seven of whom represent CMC, two representing Huggins Hospital and two representing Monadnock Community Hospital.
CMC President and CEO Joseph Pepe, MD, will serve as CEO of GraniteOne Health.
The three hospitals began discussing a potential affiliation agreement in November 2016.
"It is exciting to design a healthcare system that understands and will meet the specific needs of our local communities," said Huggins Hospital President and CEO Jeremy Roberge. "Our patients and our employees have remained our top priority throughout this process and I'm confident GraniteOne will benefit them both."
