History

In 2011, Waterbury Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital said they planned on merging.[4] The merger between St. Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital was called off in 2012.[5]

In July 2014 Tenet Healthcare announced that the hospital would be acquired by a Tenet subsidiary, with the hospital's religious directives and uncompensated care policies remaining intact. Tenet was chosen by the hospital after a four-year selection process.[6] The Tenet deal unraveled in 2015 when Tenet expressed concern with the conditions on the sale set by the state of Connecticut.[7]

In September 2015, Saint Mary's Hospital was acquired by Livonia, Michigan-based Trinity Health.[8] In 2018, Trinity Health opened a center for multiple sclerosis treatment and research at the hospital.[9]
