Nanticoke, Peninsula reach agreement to affiliate

SEAFORD — Top administrators from Seaford-based Nanticoke Health Services and Peninsula Regional Health System in Salisbury say high-level healthcare will continue and can only be enhanced through an affiliation of the two healthcare entities.

On Monday, boards of both healthcare systems reached a definitive agreement to affiliate in a membership substitution, which with final state and federal regulatory approval will pave the way for rebranding and operations as a single healthcare system

Final approvals are anticipated in November.

“We still have a step to go … but this a major milestone for us,” said Steve Rose, president/CEO of Nanticoke Health Services. “We have signed the affiliation agreement — some people call it the definitive agreement — and it really outlines the detail where we took the ideas from the letter of intent and formalized.”

Seems this is a way to not compete and monopolize rates

One facility so that means one CEO, one COO etc. Can't have 2 of each - right? Some people are going to lose their jobs.
