Charleston, W.Va.-based Vandalia Health is looking to continue its growth in the state with a plan to incorporate Elkins, W.Va.-based Davis Health into its system.
The two health systems have signed a letter of intent for the three-hospital Davis Health to join nine-hospital Vandalia Health, itself the product of a merger between Mon Health System and the Charleston Area Medical Center.
“Davis Medical Center, Broaddus Hospital and Webster Memorial are providing critically needed services in their communities," David Ramsey, CEO and president of Vandalia Health, said in a statement. "We will be proud to help them continue that tradition, and support them with services in the region."
The letter of intent builds on a strategic partnership formed between the two systems in February.
Vandalia Health also has more than 130 ambulatory locations and employs over 11,000 people.
