Ascension and Providence St. Joseph Health, Two major hospital operators - and non-profits - are in talks about a possible merger that would create the largest U.S. hospital owner, as a series of major deals are poised to consolidate control of the health-care landscape into fewer hands.
The two are talking about combining, according to people familiar with the discussions.
A deal would create a new operation of unprecedented reach, with 191 hospitals in 27 states and annual revenue of $44.8 billion, based on the most recent fiscal year.
That would dethrone the nation's largest pure hospital operator, HCA Healthcare.
