December 6, 2013 – Halifax Regional Medical Center and Novant Health announced today that they intend to merge after a formal process led by the Halifax Regional Board to select a strategic partner. Following a one-year management agreement during which due diligence will be completed, Halifax Regional Medical Center intends to merge with Novant Health.

Novant Health and Halifax Regional Medical Center will work together to make healthcare more affordable and improve patient outcomes in the community.
“Novant Health is committed to developing relationships with strategic partners to strengthen healthcare services and make healthcare services affordable for all,” said Carl S.

We are excited about working closer with Halifax Regional to improve affordability and make healthcare remarkable for the residents in the communities we serve.”

“Earlier this year, Halifax Regional set out on a journey to find a partner who is a leader in healthcare while we position to move into the future during this dynamic time.
