The TriHealth system has reached an agreement to acquire Clinton Memorial Hospital, a 140-bed hospital in Wilmington, Ohio.

TriHealth, based in Cincinnati, has reached an agreement to acquire Clinton Memorial Hospital in Wilmington, Ohio.

When the deal is complete, Clinton Memorial would become the sixth acute care hospital in the TriHealth system. TriHealth operates more than 140 care sites throughout the greater Cincinnati region.

State regulators and local officials in Clinton County must sign off on the deal. The systems announced the agreement this week, and they said they hope to complete the transaction in the third quarter of 2025.

Mark C. Clement, president and CEO of TriHealth, says the system has had a long history of collaborating with Clinton Memorial.

Clement also touted the prospect of bringing additional services to Wilmington and surrounding Clinton County, including cancer, cardiovascular, stroke and women’s health services.

“Bringing CMH into the TriHealth system is an exciting next step in this partnership as it will enable us to collaborate more closely with local physicians to extend TriHealth’s nationally recognized service lines, innovative population health care models, and world class specialists to Clinton County, all to serve more patients, better in the local community while creating seamless access to the most advanced tertiary care when needed,” Clement said in a statement.

TriHealth also said it is looking to expand its population health model along the Interstate 71 corridor.

Tom Daskalakis, CEO of Clinton Memorial Hospital, acknowledged the growing difficulty for community hospitals. He said joining with TriHealth would help ensure the hospital’s ability to serve the area for years to come.

“As community hospitals face continuing challenges in today’s complex healthcare environment, we recognize that becoming part of a vibrant regional system like TriHealth will enable us to continue that legacy while providing seamless access to care for our patients and community for years to come,” Daskalakis said in a statement.

Officials said it’s unclear if Clinton Memorial will retain its name, and said branding decisions will take place when the deal is completed.

TriHealth also pointed to its record of partnering with hospitals and providers serving rural communities to expand services.

“Welcoming Clinton Memorial Hospital into the TriHealth system aligns with TriHealth’s mission and vision to provide accessible, high-quality, lower cost and population health-based care to residents of Southwest Ohio and surrounding areas,” Clement said in a statement.

TriHealth enjoys a stable outlook and an “AA-” rating from Fitch Ratings, as the system holds a strong position in the highly competitive Cincinnati market.

“TriHealth is the market leader for a number of key inpatient and outpatient service lines,” including cardiovascular and oncology, Fitch said in a December 2024 report. TriHealth also enjoys a strong mix of payers and is the market share leader for commercially insured patients, according to Fitch.

The system has also shown it intends to expand its footprint, including ambulatory clinics and physician practices, Fitch said.

Established in 1951, Clinton Memorial has been serving the Wilmington area for nearly 75 years. While Wilmington is a small city of about 12,000 residents, it’s about an hour from Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) unloaded a heap of criticism Friday on recent actions and inactions by the Trump administration and fellow Republicans, bringing up the Ukraine minerals deal, talks with Iran, and more — while being sure to not criticize President Trump personally.

“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” Greene said Friday in a lengthy post on the social platform X.

“I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran,” Greene said, in reference to ongoing talks with Iran over its nuclear program. A fourth round of talks that was slated to take place in Rome over the weekend has been postponed.

“I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength,” Greene said.

She then turned to the minerals deal the U.S. signed with Ukraine this week, which would give the U.S. a share of Ukraine’s natural resources if the U.S. sends more money to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion. Greene argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “is a dictator who canceled elections” — which was due to the war — and was “involved of the first impeachment of Trump.”

“Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war?” Greene said. “Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”

The post from the firebrand Georgia congresswoman is striking given that she has been one of Trump’s most vocal and prominent supporters.

Greene also lamented that the COVID-19 vaccine “still has FDA [Food and Drug Administration] approval” and wondered if “those vicious attorneys and judges” who worked “against the American people in the last four years” would be “held accountable for the lives they ruined.”

She also took aim at Republicans in Congress, wondering when there would be a vote on budgetary recessions to codify actions by the Department of Government Efficiency and saying there is enough “outrage and moral courage to dispose of this treason” by “rogue judges” blocking Trump actions.

“When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that,” Greene said, implicitly dismissing the idea of Trump seeking a third term in 2028, which would require a constitutional amendment.
