Franklin Community, MaineHealth merger gets state approval

Maine's Department of Health and Human Services has approved Farmington, Maine-based Franklin Community Health Network's proposed partnership with Portland-based MaineHealth.

FCHN will officially become the 13th member of MaineHealth on Oct. 1. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. FCHN, which includes 65-bed Franklin Memorial Hospital, originally announced in December 2013 that it planned to join MaineHealth, following a six-month long search for a strategic partner.

"Our health system has enjoyed a long-standing clinical collaboration with Franklin and its providers," said MaineHealth President Bill Caron. "Welcoming Franklin Community Health Network as a member of the MaineHealth family is a natural next step, and we look forward to working together to care for the greater Franklin County community."
