Community Health enters deal with medical clinic

Community Health Systems Inc. said that a subsidiary has entered an affiliation agreement with a multi-specialty clinic that has 32 locations in Washington State. The Franklin-based hospital chain said its deal with Rockwood Clinic is subject to normal closing conditions and should be completed within the next few weeks.
Rockwood Clinic employs more than 1,100 people, including doctors. It offers care in more than 30 medical specialties. It would become part of a new, fully integrated health-care delivery system that would have Community Health's Deaconess Medical Center in Spokane, Wash., and Valley Hospital and Medical Center in Spokane Valley as cornerstones.
