Warner Robins, Ga.-based Houston Healthcare and Macon, Ga.-based Navicent Health are reportedly in talks to align their organizations, according to The Telegraph.
The institutions will reportedly spend the next few months working out the details of their affiliation. However, the deal will not be considered a merger, according to the report.
"Both organizations are excited about the possibility of creating a healthcare system in Middle Georgia that will bring together an unparalleled collection of advanced health care delivery resources to better serve the region," a spokesperson for Navicent Health told The Telegraph via email.
