A rural southwestern Pennsylvania hospital says in a letter to employees that it is seeking a “strategic relationship” with a larger health network.
The letter doesn’t specify a potential partner for Windber Medical Center however chairman David Klementik tells the (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat that a growing number of western Pennsylvania hospitals have been partnering with health insurer Highmark Inc. and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and its health plan.
