Jay
County Hospital, Portland, and Indiana University Health have signed an
agreement for the hospital to join the health system next year. The deal, which
goes into effect March 1, brings IU Health's total number of Indiana hospitals
to 16.
The
hospital has been managed by IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie since
1998, and IU Health says it will assume all assets and liabilities for the
hospital once the agreement takes effect.
