Health Management was pitted against Duke LifePoint Healthcare, a Brentwood, Tenn.-based joint venture between LifePoint Hospitals and Durham, N.C.-based Duke University Health System. Last week, Duke LifePoint increased its bid to operate Munroe Regional, and both Duke LifePoint and Health Management had bids of $200 million on the table.
Health Management’s 40-year lease of Munroe Regional will be done in partnership with Shands Healthcare, the teaching medical center of the University of Florida in Gainesville and a clinical partner of Health Management. A Shands subsidiary will acquire up to 20 percent of Munroe Regional.
Health Management, Shands and Munroe Regional will now work toward a definitive agreement, which is expected to be signed sometime this year. Final financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
