A hospital system with properties in Mississippi and Alabama has merged with Ochsner Health, as the Louisiana-based system continues to expand its reach in the Gulf Coast region.
On Monday, Rush Health Systems became Ochsner Rush Health, the Meridian Star reported. Rush had said in June 2021 that it intended to merge with Ochsner Health, based in New Orleans.
Ochsner Rush Health will provide health care in eastern Mississippi and western Alabama.
