CT governor meets with Yale New Haven and Prospect Medical to try for deal on hospitals

Gov. Ned Lamont met with the two chief executive officers involved in the plan for Yale New Haven Health to purchase Prospect Medical Holdings on Wednesday in an effort to move the stalled negotiations out of the courtroom.

Lamont met for more than an hour with YNNH CEO Chris O’Connor and Prospect Medical CEO Von Crockett in his office at the state Capitol Wednesday morning.

The two sides and their lawyers left without an agreement but are expected to meet again Thursday on their own.
