Augusta – The Prime Healthcare Foundation has brought its efforts to obtain Central Main Healthcare in Lewisson on March 12 by submitting a letter of intent to submit the necessary certificates within the next 30 days to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
Required certificate It is the process of regulating certain types of healthcare decisions, requiring hospitals and physicians to seek state approval before making major changes to facilities such as mergers and acquisitions, new facilities and services, and large capital investments of equipment and facilities.
Prime recorded the acquisition debate in a letter that it benefits the community. The letter states its commitment to preserve and strengthen health care for people in central, western and midcoast Maine.
“The mission of PHF is to provide quality, caring healthcare for everyone and to serve our communities through charitable and educational initiatives,” Prime Quilitions said in the letter.
If you acquire Central Main Healthcare, the parent company of Central Main Medical Center, from Prime, you will be obligated to provide jobs to all current employees and invest $150 million in your local system over five years.
The Prime Healthcare Foundation is a nonprofit organization that operates 16 hospitals nationwide and is a large for-profit healthcare company that owns 44 hospitals, including 16 that operate under the foundation.
The foundation says it provides more than $3.4 billion in support to the community and provides philanthropic care. He has also won awards.
But the major healthcare itself has settled in two different cases with the federal government over the past decade in relation to Medicare fraud, provider kickbacks and other charges claims.

It is unclear whether Prime submitted what he submitted to the institution. Key officials did not make a statement about the next steps in the process by Thursday afternoon.
The story was amended by Prime Healthcare Foundation saying it has submitted a letter of intent to submit the necessary certificate to Maine over the next 30 days.
