“We are very excited and appreciative of the state’s approval to move forward,” said WCA Hospital President and CEO Betsey T. Wright.
The proposed deal is now in the final stages of the regulatory process. The transaction requires approvals from the New York State Office of Mental Health and New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Service.
