3. Hackensack Meridian and Carrier Clinic signed a letter of intent to explore a merger in March. The deal is subject to regulatory review.

Garrett, co-CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health. “We must continue to truly integrate behavioral health into healthcare and expand treatment options as our state battles an opioid epidemic that has claimed too many lives and devastated so many families.”
