Union health care workers at Commonwealth Health’s Regional Hospital of Scranton and its Moses Taylor Hospital campus in the city are “hopeful and relieved” the state greenlit the nonprofit Tenor Health Foundation’s pending acquisition of the financially struggling facilities many feared would close if the deal collapsed. The state Department of Health confirmed Wednesday it approved Tenor’s change-of-ownership applications to acquire and operate the Scranton hospitals and Commonwealth’s Wilkes-Barre General Hospital in Luzerne County. “Our community stuck by our side as well, and we are so grateful for them and the elected officials who made this deal happen. Union workers and others stressed the impact potential closures would have on lives and livelihoods, and the strain they’d put on the region’s remaining health systems, hospitals and emergency departments. Bresnahan was one of two local officials, Kosierowski being the other, mentioned by name Wednesday in a Tenor statement announcing state approval for the hospital acquisitions.
