After announcing late last month that it would be moving ahead with its acquisition of Holy Spirit Health System, Penn State Health has appointed two individuals for the system’s West Shore leadership team.

After months of antitrust investigations, Penn State Health and Montour County-based Geisinger have agreed to move forward on a deal for the Hershey-based health system to acquire Holy Spirit Health System without approval from state and federal authorities.

The sale of Geisinger Health-owned Holy Spirit Health System to Penn State Health will take longer than expected after regulatory bodies requested more time to investigate the sale due to antitrust concerns.

Geisinger Holy Spirit is moving five primary care and pediatric doctors in South Middleton Township, Cumberland County, to a new facility at 340 York Road.

Geisinger Holy Spirit increased its heart surgery services last month in a new agreement with Penn State Health.

Geisinger Health System’s newest executive oversees the Danville-based hospital system’s 6,500-plus nurses.
