What the document says
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is conducting a preliminary review of a material change transaction designated as Case 089, involving Quorum and Healthside (referencing Quincy Health and McKenzie-Willamette Regional Medical Center Associates). OHA accepted a complete notice of the transaction on August 7, 2026, and issued a request for additional information to the entities on the same date. OHA accepted the entities' complete response on September 1, 2026. The entities requested an extension to the review period. The preliminary review period is currently active, with an expected end date of October 7, 2026. OHA has published transaction materials including a Notice of Material Change, business entity and facilities forms, organizational charts for Quincy Health Corporation and QKA, a merger agreement, financial statements for Quincy Health (2022 and 2023) and McKenzie-Willamette Regional Medical Center Associates, and a response to the August 7, 2026 Request for Information. Several exhibits, including acquisition history, due diligence findings, management agreement, OHA presentation, and board meeting minutes, are fully redacted. OHA is accepting public comments through email, voicemail, and a public comment form. Public comments were received both before the complete notice was submitted (June 1 through June 4, 2026) and after.
What this may mean
Applies to the acquiring and target healthcare entities involved in the Quorum-Healthside transaction under Oregon's Health Care Market Oversight program. The preliminary review period closes October 7, 2026, placing the transaction on hold pending OHA determination. Oregon's material change notice requirement is at issue for hospital and health system transactions meeting statutory thresholds.
