Boca Raton (Fla.) Regional Hospital entered into negotiations with five health systems March 8 to potentially form a strategic partnership.
The 400-bed hospital began its partnership search last June. During the last seven months, hospital leaders formed a steering committee and sought out proposals from potential suitors, culling the pool of potential affiliates from 12 to five.
The five finalists are:
- Cleveland Clinic
- Baptist Health South Florida (Coral Gables)
- Orlando (Fla. ) Health
- Memorial Healthcare System (Hollywood, Fla.)
- Novant Health (Winston-Salem, N.C.)
BRRH officials said they aim to finalize their partnership with one of the providers this summer.
