A New Era of Care in Terre Haute
The Indiana Department of Health has issued the Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA), and Union Hospital and Terre Haute Regional Hospital officially merged on December 13, 2025.
With the state’s approval of the COPA, we are now able to increase access, protect and enhance care and ensure a brighter healthcare future for everyone we serve. We are appreciative of the support and buy-in from our community who made this possible.
As we embark on this next chapter under active state supervision, we remain committed to providing the community with exceptional care close to home, moving forward together with stability and a shared vision for an even healthier community.
In the coming months, we will update this website to include the quality and patient satisfaction measures designated for quarterly reporting, employee and physician satisfaction survey results, the results of research studies, a summary of how cost savings realized as a result of the COPA are being reinvested, and additional price transparency information.
What is a Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA)?
A Certificate of Public Advantage is the legal framework that enables Union Health and Terre Haute Regional Hospital to merge and form a unified health system. The COPA and accompanying Terms and Conditions not only outline the commitments we make to our community but also provide enhanced oversight to ensure accountability.
The COPA is designed to secure improved healthcare for our community, building on the legacy of compassion and service that both organizations have provided for generations.
Our Community Deserves a Healthier Future
Our neighbors deserve continued access to high-quality, compassionate care. By coming together, Union Health and Terre Haute Regional Hospital can focus on improving the patient experience, employing more physicians, offering more appointments and maintaining exceptional care close to home.
