Waterbury Hospital was set to join Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare last year, but the for-profit hospital operator called off the deal in December 2014.

The breakdown of the amount Prospect would pay under the proposed transaction is expected to be similar to that of the Tenet deal, according to the report.
