Monterey County officials and trustees of Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, Calif., have agreed to pursue a merger between Natividad and Salinas (Calif.) Valley Memorial Hospital, according to a Contra Costa Times report.
The proposed merger would combine Natividad, which is owned by Monterey County, and Salinas Valley Memorial into one single health system. The merger proposal was approved in a last-minute meeting due to Salinas Valley's March 7 deadline for merger proposals.
The new health system would fall under Monterey County control, and a single overarching board would oversee the new system.
Monterey County originally contacted Salinas Valley about a partnership in late February.
