COLEBROOK â The proposed merger of Indian Stream Health Center and Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital is now before the Charitable Trust Unit of the Attorney Generalâs Office, one of the final hurdles in a process that got underway months ago. â[T]he future of primary care is at stake in our area,â Gail Fisher, Indian Streamâs board chair, said during a listening session last April.
Under the terms of the merger proposal hammered out between the two nonprofit entities, the hospital would assume the assets and a limited amount of debt from Indian Stream, and it would establish a rural health clinic that would provide care for residents of the health centerâs 850-square-mile service area.
