Sentara Healthcare and Cone Health have decided not to move forward with an affiliation that was initially proposed in August of last year.
Leadership from each organization began the work of combining the two entities earlier this year, and it was during that process that leaders from both entities decided that their respective communities and stakeholders required support that was better served by Sentara and Cone remaining independent, the groups said in a statement this week.
The Sentara Healthcare board of directors and the Cone Health board of trustees came to the mutual agreement to end affiliation plans late last week.
