The merger between Wellstar and Augusta University Health has been approved by the Office of the Attorney General of Georgia, according to a join statement from leaders of Wellstar, AU Health and the University System of Georgia. "The report concluded the pending transaction is consistent with the purposes set out in the law, including that the community will receive an enforceable commitment for fair and reasonable community benefits, there are no impermissible conflicts of interest and that there are sufficient safeguards to assure access to affordable care moving forward, including Wellstar's commitment to provide care to the uninsured and to improve healthcare for Georgians," read the joint statement released late Thursday.
