Prospect ECHN, which owns Manchester Memorial Hospital and Rockville General Hospital, answered questions from state regulators and heard feedback from the public during a hearing Wednesday on its proposal to consolidate both hospitals under a single license.
The change, ECHN officials said, would eliminate redundant administrative processes, enhance the patient experience, and save money. The consolidation would eliminate Rockville General Hospital’s license, effectively making it the Rockville campus of Manchester Memorial Hospital, ECHN CEO Deborah Weymouth said.
