A Rome-based hospital system said Tuesday that it has signed a letter of intent to combine with Charlotte-based Atrium Health.

The agreement between the nonprofit systems Atrium and Floyd Health System, if finalized, would represent another major development in the consolidation of hospitals in Georgia.

Atrium Health recently took over operations of the Macon-based Navicent Health system and, experts say, may be looking to add more hospital systems in Georgia beyond Floyd Health.
