Oregon Health & Science University and Legacy Health have officially merged into one healthcare system, signing a “binding, definitive agreement to unite,” according to an announcement from OHSU on Thursday. In what is being called the largest healthcare merger in Oregon history, OHSU offered to take the financially struggling Legacy Health System under its wing, with the two organizations signing a letter of intent to combine their care back in August 2023. Legacy’s clinics and hospitals would now become part of OHSU, which is a public company that is partially state-funded. Overall, this could combine 32,000 employees and more than 100 locations. Together, under the new umbrella of OHSU Health, they will record more than 3 million patient visits per year.
