Hartford HealthCare (HHC) acquired St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport on Tuesday, increasing its holdings to seven acute-care hospitals.
The 473-bed hospital, previously owned by Catholic operator Ascension, is HHC’s first in Fairfield County and the second largest of its seven, after its flagship Hartford Hospital.
While Yale New Haven Health has made inroads into central Connecticut through partnerships with St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center and Bristol Hospital, Tuesday’s deal brings HHC into perhaps its most direct competition yet with Yale, as the nearest competitor for St. Vincent’s is Yale-owned Bridgeport Hospital.
HHC has named Vincent DiBattista president of its new Fairfield region. He was previously president of Hartford HealthCare Medical Group.
“We are honored to continue St. Vincent’s faith-based mission of care. St. Vincent’s brings a major presence in southwestern Connecticut to Hartford HealthCare, and Hartford HealthCare brings a wide range of resources to St. Vincent’s,” DiBattista said in a statement. “No matter how you look at it, the future is bright.”
The state Office of Health Strategy approved the St. Vincent’s acquisition in August.
