A Real Deal: Northside-Gwinnett Merger Finally Gets Federal Approval

From the standpoint of medical services, the deal should provide complementary services. Northside Hospital has leading services in women’s health and cancer, while Gwinnett Health System has a portfolio that features cardiovascular care and orthopedics. Northside’s financial pockets are much deeper than Gwinnett’s, and it presumably would be the controlling entity once the merger is completed.

The wait is over.

After years of delay while seeking regulatory approval, Northside Hospital and Gwinnett Health System said Tuesday that they have obtained federal approval to merge their operations.

The merger, expected to be finalized this summer, will create a system with five hospitals, more than 250 outpatient locations and 21,000 employees.
