Coeur d'Alene, Idaho-based Kootenai Health has acquired two hospitals from Duluth, Minn.-based Essentia Health, according to The Idaho County Free Press.
Kootenai Health now owns two more Idaho hospitals, Clearwater Valley Hospital in Orofino and St. Mary's Hospital and Clinics in Cottonwood.
The heath systems signed a letter of intent to transfer ownership of the critical access hospitals in August.
Under the agreement, both critical access hospitals are expected to retain their current structures and board, according to the report.
