Richmond-based VCU Health System is purchasing the 67-bed Riverside Tappahannock Hospital and its related medical services from Riverside Health System, the health systems announced Tuesday.
Financial terms of the transaction were not released.
VCU Health System will acquire RTH and its related services, including diagnostics, physical therapy, Tappahannock Urgent Care and Riverside Medical Group providers’ locations in the Northern Neck. Patients in the region also will have access to VCU Health’s services, including clinical trials and medical specialists. The two systems began their partnership last year with a collaboration between RTH and the VCU Massey Cancer Center to improve cancer care in the region.
RTH employees will remain employed by Riverside for at least 12 months after the change of ownership is complete, and Tappahannock Urgent Care employees will remain on the payroll there.
