Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare was close to acquiring Waterbury Hospital in 2014. However, after more than two years of working toward a deal, Tenet backed out of the transaction due to proposed conditions state regulators put on its purchase of the hospital.
Waterbury and PMH have signed a letter of intent, and if the two organizations move forward with the deal, it will be the first time a for-profit company has attempted to acquire a Connecticut hospital since the Tenet deal fell apart, according to the report.
