Case Studies

Trinity Health Hospital Acquisition Transactions

Over the course of three years, Hinckley Allen successfully completed three major hospital acquisitions involving Trinity Health, a not-for-profit Catholic health system. The Firm represented Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in connection with its acquisition by Trinity Health, and subsequently represented Trinity Health of New England in its acquisition of Johnson Memorial Hospital and Saint Mary’s Hospital. The transactions involved multiple health care regulatory approvals, canon law approvals from the Roman Catholic Church, and in the case of Johnson Memorial, bankruptcy court approval in Johnson’s chapter 11 bankruptcy. There were many challenges associated with each transaction including buying Johnson Memorial Hospital out of bankruptcy.

Throughout these transactions, our team worked seamlessly with our clients, providing expertise and experience in a broad array of disciplines, including healthcare, employment, tax, environmental, intellectual property, real estate, and litigation.
