St. Francis
headwinds over the last decade, filing for
bankruptcy protection twice and running
consistent operating deficits.
Its latest Chapter 11 bankrupt-
cy, filed in January, is still work-
ing its way through the courts as
the hospital tries to reorganize its
debts before being bought out.
Despite those financial issues,
Johnson Memorial's northeast
Connecticut location remains
attractive, Dadlez said, because it
will allow St. Francis to expand its
geographic footprint beyond Hart-
ford County, offering patients in
Stafford Springs and nearby towns
easier access to its services. The
two hospitals formed an affiliation
in 2012, but an outright purchase will allow St.
Francis to wring out more cost savings and put
Johnson Memorial on a more sustainable fiscal
footing, Dadlez said.
"If you are going to do population health
management you need facilities in a larger
geographic area to take care of
patients," Dadlez said.
Meantime, Yale New Haven
Health System, which has been
trying to gain a foothold in the
Hartford market, is partnering
with St. Francis Hospital on can-
cer care.
The two are working on a
deal that would allow Yale-New
Haven's Smilow Cancer Hospital
to essentially open a new loca-
tion within St. Francis' Woodland
Street campus, intensifying com-
petition with cross-town rival
Hartford Healthcare, which recently inked a
deal with New York's Memorial Sloan Ketter-
ing to expand its own oncology services.
St. Francis' partnership will allow Yale to
bring its clinical trials and disease manage-
ment programs to Hartford, where it is already
getting some of its patients, said Abe Lopman,
Yale's senior vice president of operations and
executive director of Smilow Cancer Hospital.
While the terms of the agreement are still
being worked out, Yale would manage and
oversee St. Francis' oncology services, but
doctors would remain employed by St. Fran-
cis. St. Francis' doctors, many of which teach
at UConn Health Center, would also gain
appointments at the Yale School Medicine.
Lopman said partnering with St. Francis
will allow Yale to expand its research efforts
and clinical trials on a larger patient base,
helping it achieve its long-term goal of cur-
ing the deadly disease.
"This seemed like a natural relationship
for us," Lopman said. "We believe every cancer
patient should be eligible for clinical trials." n
