Central Maine Healthcare has withdrawn a plan to take over Parkview Adventist Medical Center in Brunswick, complaining that state regulators dramatically shortened its timeline for submitting an application for the merger.
The Sun Journal reported hospital officials requested in February that regulators give the health care network an additional year to collect information for its merger application. Chuck Gill, CMHC’s spokesman, told the paper that regulators informed the hospital this summer that they would be reopening the application early.
Michael Poulin, an attorney for CMHC, wrote to the state’s Department of Health and Human Services and the attorney general saying the decision to reopen consideration of the application early is illegal, which DHHS spokesman John Martins said the agency contests.
Martins told the paper the agency decided to reopen the application process after hearing this summer that CMHC had continued to advance its acquisition of Parkview by appointing a CMHC employee as the hospital’s CEO and acquiring property from the Brunswick hospital. Martins said the agency requested permission to review documents concerning ownership or control of Parkview by CMHC, which he said the organization declined to provide in whole.
Parkview CEO and President Randee Reynolds told the paper the hospital had been working on a turnaround plan to present to state officials and will now look to continue that plan in preparation for a second merger application.
