Cabell Huntington Hospital and thePallotineSisters who control the St. Mary’s Medical center have signed an agreement that transfers control of St. Mary’s toCabellHuntington Hospital.

Both hospitals say the hope is that by working together they will be able to provide more affordable healthcare to the region..

Now that an agreement has been reached, the hospitals will wait for the Federal Trade Commission to review the competitive implications of the transaction.

Then the West Virginia Healthcare Authority will review the transaction and then Attorney General Patrick Morrisey will meet with the hospitals as part of the review process.
