The Cole Memorial board of directors will provide UPMC officials with ongoing input, advice and direction during the negotiations.

As part of the agreement, UPMC Susquehanna in Williamsport, Pa., will provide management services to Cole Memorial once the transaction is complete.
The transaction is contingent upon a due diligence period and regulatory approval. Officials expect to close the transaction before winter 2017.
