ALLENTOWN — The Federal Trade Commission and Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office gave Lehigh Valley Health Network the all-clear to buy Allentown-based specialty health system Coordinated Health, which had been making solid inroads in Northeast Pennsylvania.
In a joint statement Thursday, both health systems said the agencies had completed their anti-trust reviews allowing the deal to proceed.
Both health systems will continue to operate separately until they complete transaction documents, which officials expect to wrap up in the coming weeks.
