The Rapid City Medical Center announces their intent to join the Monument Health banner.

The announcement marks the first step in the process to close the transaction.

In the letter of intent, both organizations say they’ll operate independently throughout the transaction process.

Patient care, providers, clinic locations, and insurance currently remain unchanged.

Both parties say they intend to have the deal closed by spring.
