The newly merged system is called CommonSpirit Health and is a 700location health network spanning 21 states, which had a combined revenue of $29.2 billion in fiscal year 2018, according to a press release.

Good Samaritan Hospital’s assets had been owned by Catholic Health Initiatives, which had a joint-operating agreement with Premier.

CommonSpirit also owns St. Leonard Living Community in Centerville.
