Columbus-based OhioHealth and Cambridge, Ohio-based Guernsey Health Systems are seeking a stronger partnership about four years after entering into a strategic collaboration.
The health systems signed a letter of intent that will allow them to build on their current partnership by exchanging more detailed information.
"We are honored to begin exploring the possibility of a stronger relationship with Guernsey Health Systems," Cheryl Herbert, senior vice president of regional operations at OhioHealth said in a Nov. 12 news release.
The systems first partnered in 2017 and entered into a management agreement a year later. Under the agreement, OhioHealth provides management oversight and executive leadership at Guernsey Health Systems.
