Vitruvian Health Completes Acquisition Of Tennova Healthcare – Cleveland

  • Thursday, August 1, 2024
Vitruvian Health, formerly Hamilton Health Care System, today announced it has completed the purchase of Tennova Healthcare – Cleveland, marking the system’s expansion into Tennessee. In tribute to the community and the hospital’s heritage, the facility will be renamed Vitruvian Health - Bradley Medical Center.

The system entered into an agreement in April with a subsidiary of Community Health Systems, Inc. to acquire the hospital and its related businesses, including physician clinic operations and outpatient services.
The transaction recently received regulatory approval.

“Healthcare is evolving rapidly, but what’s important to our community members – our friends, family and neighbors – is accessing the care they need, when they need it, from providers they trust,” said Jeff Myers, CEO of Vitruvian Health. “Integrating Bradley Medical Center and its associated care locations into the Vitruvian Health system allows us to provide greater access to care in our region, enhance care coordination, empower local health care teams, and advance clinical quality.”

Officials said, "Vitruvian Health is committed to investing in Bradley Medical Center and its associated practices and locations through capital expenditures, expanding and reinforcing clinical capabilities, fortifying recruitment and retention efforts and maintaining a commitment to providing care close to home. Vitruvian Health and Bradley Medical Center teams will be working in the coming months to fully implement operational, clinical, and system integrations."

“For more than seven decades, this hospital has been a cornerstone for Bradley County and its neighboring communities. We are committed to investing in the future of Bradley Medical Center, continuing its legacy for many more years to come,” said Lisa Lovelace, the recently named CEO of Bradley Medical Center. Ms. Lovelace was previously the chief operating officer at Tennova Healthcare – Cleveland before joining Hamilton Health Care System in 2021.

"To honor the hospital, providers, associates and the community, Vitruvian Health and Bradley Medical Center look forward to hosting a signage ceremony and ribbon cutting in the near future. More information will be announced about the ceremony soon," officials said.
