The Connecticut Office of Health Strategy has approved Hartford HealthCare’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ascension’s St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, and its related operations.
Obtaining the state’s approval of the Certificate of Need application was a key regulatory step and allows St. Vincent’s to become part of the Hartford HealthCare system.
“We are delighted that St. Vincent’s associates, physicians and volunteers will continue to provide safe, high-quality and accessible healthcare to individuals in Bridgeport and Fairfield County as part of Hartford HealthCare,” said Craig Cordola, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Ascension.
St. Vincent’s would become the HHC’s second-largest hospital.
