The boards of directors of Harrisburg-based PinnacleHealth and York Township-based WellSpan Health signed an agreement this week that outlines a potential merger, the two health care organizations this afternoon announced.

The agreement describes the creation of a new regional health care organization governed by a board of directors that would include representatives from both groups and from communities across the region. The system would operate PinnacleHealth Hospitals, Gettysburg Hospital and York Hospital.

Bruce Bartels, president of WellSpan Health, would become the group's president and chief executive officer. Roger Longenderfer, president and CEO of PinnacleHealth, would be the organization's executive vice president and chief operating officer.

Board leaders and senior management will continue to discuss the details of the merger - a conversation that began in March. The groups will consider a final merger agreement early in 2010, which would require regulatory review, the statement said. Under the agreement, either group can withdraw from the discussions.
