The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) approved a Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA) application from Union Hospital, Inc. and Terre Haute Regional Hospital.
Union and Terre Haute Regional (owned by HCA Healthcare) submitted on Feb. 5, 2025, a COPA application to combine their two facilities. Indiana statute gives IDOH the authority to approve a COPA application for qualifying hospitals if the proposed merger would improve the outcomes, access, and the quality of healthcare provided to the population served by the hospitals, and those benefits outweigh any potential disadvantages.
“The result of this merger will be lower prices and more healthcare services available to residents of Terre Haute and Vigo County because of the strict operating terms and conditions that Union accepted,” said Gov. Braun. “This will bring long-term improvement to the community’s health outcomes.”
