The Indiana Department of Health has officially issued the Certificate of Public Advantage and the anticipated merger between Union Hospital and Terre Haute Regional Hospital is now effective as of Saturday, December 13.

“I am deeply grateful to the remarkable team at Union Health and the many legislators and community leaders who supported this effort over the years,” said Steve Holman, President and CEO of Union Health. “Your passion and commitment are the driving force behind this transformation. Together, we are not just advancing health care; we are shaping a future where every patient feels the power of hope, healing and community. It is a privilege to stand alongside such dedicated individuals as we make our communities healthier, together.”

The merger is now moving forward with the development of detailed implementation plans outlined in the COPA and creating a platform to share progress every step of the way. We look forward to sharing more information as our work continues.

In an effort to improve quality of care and access to key specialists, starting Saturday, December 13, 2025, Wound Care Services and Labor & Delivery Services will be consolidated at Union Hospital, located at 1606 N. 7th St., in Terre Haute. These two services will no longer be offered at the location formally known as Terre Haute Regional Hospital. Union Health is working with affected patients to transition their future appointments.

This announcement follows careful planning and coordination. The consolidation of these services was included in the 2025 Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA) application which the Indiana Department of Health approved.
