All five hospitals in the coalition — which also includes Highlands Regional Medical Center in Prestonsburg, Ky., Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital in Russell, Ky., and St. Claire Regional Medical Center in Morehead, Ky. — will remain independent with no transfer of ownership related to the coalition. Together, the five host 1,783 beds, more than 14,400 employees and 1,780 physicians, according to the report.
The two newcomers to the coalition said they did so to be part of a “clinically integrated network of providers” and improve the delivery and access to quality healthcare in the communities served, according to sources quoted in the report.
