Hackensack NJ, The Federal Trade Commission has filed an administrative complaint (a public version of which will be available and linked to this news release as soon as possible), and authorized a suit in federal court, to block Hackensack Meridian Health, Inc.’s proposed acquisition of Englewood Healthcare Foundation.
Englewood NJ, the Boards of Trustees of Englewood Health and Hackensack Meridian Health announced they have signed a definitive agreement to merge. This strategic move allows for new and more robust collaborations between the two not-for-profit systems that extend well beyond an existing clinical and academic affiliation, forged in 2015.
“Englewood Health and Hackensack Meridian Health share a common mission and commitment to quality,” said Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health. “We are thrilled Englewood wants to be part of Hackensack Meridian Health. We believe they will be a great addition to our network. We will continue to improve the well-being of communities with more cost-effective care that delivers quality, safe outcomes, clinical excellence and a superior experience.”
