Pauls Valley (Okla.) General Hospital may be weeks away from finalizing a partnership, according to a Pauls Valley Democrat report.
PVGH CEO Gayle Sturgis has said the hospital narrowed its potential partnerships down from a handful to two. The hospital sent requests for proposal letters to Norman (Okla.) Regional Health System and Oklahoma City-based St. Anthony Health System, Integris Health System and Mercy Health System. The most appeal for affiliation seems to be with either Mercy or St. Anthony, according to the report.
Integris has since backed out of discussions, but PVGH is still meeting with officials from the other organizations throughout this week. Ms. Sturgis said that an affiliation plan could be in place by the end of the month if everything runs smoothly.
