"NYU Langone Medical Center has been informed that the Board of Continuum Health Partners (CHP) was approached by Mount Sinai about entering into merger discussions with them, and that CHP has decided to enter into such discussions. Given the good faith in which we have worked with CHP over the past eight months, we have determined that it is in the best interests of NYU Langone Medical Center to suspend all further discussions with CHP at this time. Should CHP approach us again in the future, we will make a determination at that time whether to re-engage with them."
