Here are four things to know about the deal.
1. Memorial Health is now part of HCA Healthcare’s South Atlantic Division. That division is based in Charleston, S.C., and operates hospitals in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
2. The deal was finalized Wednesday after more than two years of discussions. The final estimated purchase price was $456.7 million, according to the Savannah Morning News. The final price will be determined in about four months, after adjustments are made.
3. “Across the country, HCA empowers local caregivers and gives back to the communities they operate in,” J. Curtis Lewis III, chairman of the Memorial Health board, said in a statement. “That is our commitment to our neighbors across Georgia and we are excited to have found a partner with the same core values.”
