CONCORD, N.H. (Legal Newsline) - New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph Foster announced the submission Monday of a proposed affiliation agreement involving two healthcare charitable trusts to his office for review.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health and New London Hospital Association submitted the proposed agreement pursuant to RSA 7:19-b, a law that regulates acquisition transactions between state healthcare charitable trusts. The two trusts submitted the proposed agreement to Foster's Charitable Trusts Unit.
