Baystate Health and Trinity Health of New England have signed a definitive agreement to transition Mercy Medical Center, its joint venture affiliates and medical group entities in Massachusetts to Baystate Health, pending regulatory approvals.
Trinity Health of New England will continue to own and operate Brightside for Families and Children and will continue to own and provide continuing care services in Western Massachusetts, including Mercy LIFE, Beaven Kelly Home and Saint Luke’s Home.
Both organizations are committed to ensuring a smooth and collaborative process for colleagues, patients and partners. Until the transition is complete and receives all regulatory approvals, Mercy Medical Center and Baystate Health will continue to operate independently.
To aim to preserve local access to care, Mercy Medical Center explored potential strategic partnerships and collaborations with other providers and determined Baystate Health shared its vision for the long-term sustainability of healthcare services in the community. By transitioning to Baystate Health, both Mercy and Baystate will be better positioned to meet the continued healthcare needs of the region.
