Buffalo, N.Y.-based Catholic Health System and BryLin Behavioral Health System, also in Buffalo, are reportedly in discussions to form a potential affiliation, according to The Buffalo News.
Officials said discussions between the two organizations are ongoing and that nothing has been finalized, according to the report.
"We have been talking over the past few months to see where it makes sense for our two organizations to work together," said Joseph McDonald, president and CEO of Catholic Health, in a statement. "Both Catholic Health and BryLin offer inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services, so there are synergies as we determine the best way to serve our patients and community."
