The merger of the clinic with the hospital was first proposed by Carle Foundation in October.
The groups must now await approval for the merger by the state’s Health Facilities Services and Review Board, which will determine if the merger will improve access to care for members of the community.
The merger would consolidate the for-profit clinic with the non-profit hospital, allowing physicians at the clinic to provide charitable services under the new group’s non-profit status, according to the report.
