Marc H. Lory, Schuylkill Health president and chief executive officer said, that in November of 2014, Schuylkill Health announced its intention to pursue some type of partnership with a larger health system.
The transaction is subject to the typical regulatory review associated with this type of transaction, and is expected to be complete by the end of 2016.
