Hospital merger called off

The people have spoken and the businesses listened.

Philly.com reported that the merger between Holy Redeemer and Abington Hospital is off. Apparently, the public outcry was too loud for the institutions.

The partnership was sought, spokespersons said, to put both hospitals in a better position to handle the federal healthcare overhaul. So this may not be the end of the story. It's probably a safe bet that discussions about a partnership or merger or alliance will begin once the impact of the legislation becomes clearer.
