Covenant Health's decision to terminate its agreement with Day Kimball Healthcare in northeastern Connecticut comes weeks before a scheduled public hearing on the planned merger.
Residents from various communities in mostly rural northeastern Connecticut protest Day Kimball Healthcare's plans to affiliate with Covenant Healthcare, outside Day Kimball Hospital on July 18, 2022, in Putnam, Conn.
Covenant Health's decision to terminate its agreement with Day Kimball in Putnam comes weeks before the state's Office of Health Strategy was scheduled to hold a public hearing on the planned merger. The proposed merger had raised concerns among residents and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong about the fate of reproductive health and other services in the mostly rural region of Connecticut that may be at odds with the Ethical and Religious Directives set by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, an issue that has come to light in other states as well.
