AdventHealth to operate three Intermountain hospitals in Denver through joint venture

AdventHealth will take over daily operations of Intermountain Health’s Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge, Platte Valley Hospital in Brighton, and Good Samaritan Hospital in Lafayette through a joint venture, with Intermountain exploring options for Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver; the arrangement isn’t a sale and is targeted to close in early 2027 after regulatory approval, with analysts noting potential antitrust scrutiny due to market concentration.
