Piedmont Healthcare is adding four HCA hospitals to its network in a deal valued at close to $1 billion.
The purchases from HCA, announced Monday, would make Atlanta-based Piedmont the leading system in Georgia in number of hospitals, at 15. The Emory and Wellstar systems are next, at 11.
The deal had been rumored for several days.
If regulators approve the acquisitions, as expected, the nonprofit Piedmont system will acquire Eastside Medical Center in Snellville; Coliseum Medical Centers and Coliseum Northside, both in Macon; and Cartersville Medical Center in Cartersville.
The targeted closing date is July 31. HCA, a chain based in Tennessee, valued the acquisition price at $950 million.
