During a meeting yesterday of community members and employees, Nuvance Health officials touted the benefits of their recent merger.  An independent firm found the hospitals have complied with nearly all 25 state requirements in the merger agreement. The Connecticut Post reports the hospitals have allowed community representation on their boards and kept generous charity policies, among other stipulations.  But Nuvance failed to notify the Office of Health Strategy before a change in its charity policy. The policy is adjusted automatically each year based on the federal formula for poverty levels. The hospitals have added services and hired top experts in cancer, surgery and neuroscience, which officials say have brought innovation and efficiencies as staff learn from each other.
