A. You may be aware that in December, 2008, we entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding with Meridian Health to explore joining our
two organizations. We are currently in the process of evaluating this
potential transaction through due diligence, review of regulatory
requirements, engagement of consultants and attorneys, and, if agreed
to, the eventual negotiation and execution of a definitive written
agreement between our two organizations.
We believe that the potential integration of Bayshore with Meridian
Health will benefit the communities we both service and will enable us
to better ensure that our communities have access to a comprehensive
continuum of integrated services that meet present and future health
needs.
