Sentara to affiliate with RMH Healthcare
Norfolk, Va-based Sentara Healthcare recently announced it will affiliate with RMH Healthcare, based in Harrisonburg, Va. In a statement, Sentara claimed that RMH recognized the value of such an affiliation with another system, and had considered 10 top candidates. “After extensive review, they chose Sentara. We share a not-for-profit mission and a culture of safety, quality and clinical excellence.”
According to a local press article, Sentara officials will oversee finances, although RMH will maintain a local board to retain control of such matters as quality of care. The officials also claimed it will require about six months to finalize the affiliation, which is probably going to occur early next year.
Sentara was founded in 1888
