Partner Lawrence Vernaglia was quoted in a Boston Globe article, “Southcoast Health Explores Merger with R.I. Hospital System,” on November 16, 2015. The article discussed a potential health care merger between Southcoast Health System and Care New England Health System, representing a cross-state merger. Vernaglia said this merger may foreshadow a trend and was quoted saying, “In the future, you’re going to see a lot more deals crossing state lines. Patients don’t see the state lines, so it’s kind of irrational that hospitals do.”
