The initial deal between the two health systems was announced in March and now needs approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the Virginia attorney general to move forward.
The merger will bring an additional $240 million to Prince William, and officials said that the funds will be used to create additional private rooms, build a cardiac catheterization lab, add staff and modernize the critical care unit, according to the report. Some of the Novant money could also go towards the construction of a new hospital in Haymarket, Va.
