Amita Health Hospital Network Will Be Broken Up
AdventHealth and Ascension have decided to unwind the partnership under which they’ve been operating Amita Health, which has 19 hospitals in Illinois, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday. Some of the hospitals will operate under AdventHealth and others under Ascension.
“Leaders of both sponsoring organizations have determined that going forward separately is in their collective best interest in order to more nimbly meet the changing needs and expectations of consumers in the rapidly evolving healthcare environment,” Amita Health said in a statement.
“Both organizations are committed to a smooth and expeditious transition. Following the transition, AdventHealth and Ascension will operate their individual hospitals and care sites in the Chicagoland area. There will be no disruption to patient care.”
Amita didn’t specify a timetable for the break-up, beyond saying, “Ascension and AdventHealth will begin the process of unwinding the partnership in a way that best serves the needs of the community.”
