What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Union Hospital is pursuing the acquisition of Terre Haute Regional Hospital in Vigo County, Indiana, but the merger application faces opposition from the Federal Trade Commission and state approval hurdles. The acquisition process utilized Indiana's Certificate of Public Advantage framework, which allows healthcare systems to acquire each other under state governance.
