Possible outcomes of a merger could be SCA managing WakeMed’s three outpatient centers in Raleigh and Cary, N.C., or WakeMed purchasing a majority stake in SCA’s Blue Ridge Surgery Center, according to the report.
Under a partnership, WakeMed would be able to use SCA’s experience to expand its number of outpatient centers in the region and allow WakeMed to access a broader base of physicians and a partner experienced in managing outpatient centers, according to the report.
WakeMed is currently planning on building a $60.7 million outpatient center next to its flagship hospital in Raleigh, and the company filed plans with the state in June.
Both companies expect to make a decision regarding an agreement by February.
