Two Greater New Haven health care nonprofit organizations aim to join forces, with the announcement Friday that Ansonia-based Birmingham Group Health Services Inc. and Branford-based Harbor Health Services Inc. plan to merge.
Officials at the groups said a due diligence process and “integration plan” are slated to be completed for board members’ review by October. If the merger ultimately is approved, the new unified group would begin operating in January as a regional provider of behavioral health and domestic violence services.
Both Birmingham Group Health Services and Harbor Health Services are private, nonprofit corporations. If the merger is approved, they will gradually combine into a single organization and brand over the next year.
