Ohio Health Corporation has announced that it has entered in an agreement with Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center in Cambridge.
Guernsey Health Systems announced the five-year management agreement with OhioHealth Corporation to provide leadership and daily management for Southeastern Med beginning Oct. 10.
On its website Ohio Health stated “through the agreement, OhioHealth will provide management oversight for the hospital and three senior leadership positions, while Southeastern Med will remain fully independent.
