Last September, Geisinger and Holy Spirit signed a letter of intent to affiliate, and the organizations subsequently completed a due diligence process.
The proposed integration now moves into the regulatory approval phase, which should take 30 to 45 days to complete, according to a news release.
“This is an important step forward for Geisinger and Holy Spirit to enhance care in south central Pennsylvania,” said Glenn Steele, Jr., MD, president and CEO of Geisinger, in the release. “Holy Spirit has a 50 year history of providing high quality, compassionate care, and we are pleased to affiliate with an organization that shares our commitment to value and doing what is right for patients and the community.”
