Abstract
This project centers on the formation aspects of the merger/acquisition of a
Catholic hospital and a non-faith-based, not-for-profit, three hospital health system. In
the situation presented in this project the Catholic facility acquired the three hospital system. The Catholic facility is the oldest health care organization in the city and has an outstanding reputation, thus making the acquisition look more positive to the three
hospital system. This project will demonstrate the theological and formation path that
was utilized to bring a Catholic health system into being.
