Following the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) in January 2016, Kennedy Health entered into a binding definitive agreement with Jefferson Health that out- lines the terms of how Kennedy will integrate with Jefferson, the combined clinical entity formed by the merger of Abington and Jefferson in May 2015, and further expanded with the addition of Aria Health this July.
At Kennedy’s Washington Township hospital campus, planning will proceed for a new hospital patient tower and enclosed parking facility. It will also complete construction of a multi-specialty medical office building, an enclosed parking facility and a new hospital patient tower at its Cherry Hill hospital campus and maintain its academic and clinical affiliation with the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Joseph W. Devine will remain president and CEO of Kennedy Health and serve as executive vice president at Jefferson, focusing on the organization’s expansion in New Jersey. The transaction is expected to be completed following New Jersey’s Community Health Care Assets Protection Act review process.
