In August 2023, Oregon Health & Science University and Legacy Health announced their intent to combine and create an integrated health system. Today, the organizations have entered into a mutual agreement to terminate the transaction. After careful consideration of the evolving operating environment, the organizations have determined that the best way to meet the needs of the communities they serve is to move forward as individual organizations. OHSU and Legacy will remain focused on each health system’s individual strategic objectives, with the goal of remaining well-positioned to continue supporting their people, patients and communities. OHSU and Legacy Health will continue to promote the health and well-being of people in Oregon, Southwest Washington and beyond.
