An affiliation between Community Hospitals and Wellness Centers and Parkview Health announced in March will take effect on Oct. 1. The two health care providers signed a letter of intent in March for the two to combine their efforts of providing health care in the region. The two organizations have spent months working on the process to finalize the agreement. It will make CHWC an affiliate of Parkview Health. Once the affiliation is finalized, CHWC facilities will be renamed Parkview Bryan Hospital, Parkview Montpelier Hospital and Parkview Archbold.
