MultiCare, Samaritan Finalize Merger After State Regulatory Approval
MultiCare Health System and Samaritan Health Services officially completed their merger on Sunday after receiving approval from state regulators. Tacoma, Washington-based MultiCare has committed to investing $700 million over the next decade into Samaritan's facilities and technology. The merger combines two nonprofit health systems, consolidating their operations and resources under MultiCare.
