The organizations are expected to continue their negotiations during the coming months.
KentuckyOne also revealed plans Dec. 19 to enter into exclusive negotiations with asset management firm BlueMountain Capital Management, which may include the sale of previously identified KentuckyOne hospitals and healthcare operations.
Among the potential assets included in the sale to BlueMountain is Louisville, Ky.-based Jewish Hospital. It is unclear which other facilities will be included.
