HOSPITAL MERGER CALLED OFF

Hospital merger called off

Iowa’s UnityPoint Health and South Dakota-based Sanford Health have abruptly halted plans to merge.

UnityPoint owns Grinnell Regional Medical Center.  No reason was given for the decision from either side.  In June, the two regional health care systems announced they would be combining to create one of the largest nonprofit health care systems in the country, with more than $11 billion in operating revenue.
