The West Virginia University Health System has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Independence Health System, a move that expands WVU’s reach into Western Pennsylvania. The agreement has been in the works since November, when WVU Health announced its intention to acquire Independence Health. The Pennsylvania system was formed in 2023 through the merger of Excela Health and the Butler Health System.

The deal includes Excela Health’s former hospitals in Greensburg, Latrobe and Mt. Pleasant, as well as the Butler and Clarion facilities that formed the Butler Health System.
