The two-state deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter of this year, would see Nuvancewhich runs more than 100 hospitals in Connecticut and New Yorkacquired by Northwell, which runs more than 500 hospitals in New York and New Jersey and is the country's largest not-for-profit health system, per the Wall Street Journal.
Nuvance is headquartered in Simsbury, Conn., while Northwell is headquartered in White Plains, NY.

"This is a great opportunity for Northwell to expand its presence in New York and Connecticut," Nuvance's CEO says in a statement.
