Baltimore-based LifeBridge Health has signed a letter of intent with Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health to acquire Bon Secours Baltimore Hospital.
The systems will hold a series of community meetings to share details of the transition. The Bon Secours Community Works program will remain active and continue to focus on community health by addressing social determinants of health such as affordable housing and career services.
"Bon Secours Baltimore Hospital is a vital part of the west Baltimore community. As a Baltimore-based health system, LifeBridge Health envisions building on Bon Secours' strong foundation to provide a comprehensive and enhanced plan for all levels of health care services," said Neil Meltzer, president and CEO of LifeBridge Health. "At the same time, we want to bring additional resources to the community to address needs related to employment, addiction and other challenges."
