Officials expected the sale of Commonwealth Health Systems- owned Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Regional Hospital of Scranton and Moses Taylor Hospital in Scranton to Tenor Health Foundation to be finalized by the end of 2025. Both health systems said they are waiting for the Pa. Department of Health's approval before they can proceed with the sale.
