STEUBENVILLE — UPMC is negotiating to buy Steubenville-based Trinity Health System, a report indicates.

The deal, if completed, would include three hospitals, two urgent care centers and a behavioral health and physicians’ office building, according to people familiar with the plans, but who were not authorized to speak publicly about them, according to a story in today’s edition of the (Pittsburgh) Post-Gazette.

Those facilities would include Trinity Medical Center West, Trinity Medical Center East, Trinity Hospital Twin City in Dennison and Trinity Health System St. Clairsville Neighborhood Hospital that opened in August, the Post-Gazette reported.

Officials with Trinity were not available for comment this morning.

In the summer of 2024, Trinity completed work on its 88-room, $75 million Tower project at its West campus.

“This really is a building that is designed around patients,” then-Trinity President Matt Grimshaw said about the project. “It is all about bringing natural light into spaces, open spaces, private spaces. It’s designed to be a true healing environment, and I think that changes lives. So, we’re excited about this, not just for today, but for generations to come. We believe this truly cements health care in Steubenville indefinitely. That survives far beyond us, and it’s really the backbone of any thriving community.”

Grimshaw spent seven years at Trinity before leaving in December to become market president for CHI St. Joseph Health, which is based in Lexington, Ky. That system, like Trinity, is part of Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health.

The president’s position at Trinity has been vacant since Grimshaw’s departure.

Trinity also operates Express Care urgent care facilities in Wintersville and Cadiz. What would happen with those clinics is not clear, the report indicated.

UPMC is in a joint venture with Atlanta-based GoHealth Urgent Care to operate UPMC and former MedExpress clinics in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the Post-Gazette said. That includes the facility on Three Springs Drive in Weirton, which recently was rebranded as UPMC-GoHealth Urgent Care.

Trinity has been expanding services during the past several years. Last October, it celebrated its 200th transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
