The board of Michigan’s largest health system, Beaumont Health, has yet to set a date for a final vote on a proposed merger with Illinois’ largest health system, Advocate Aurora Health. The system argued that concerns from physicians centered around local issues and not the potential merger with Advocate Aurora, a much larger partner for Beaumont than Summa. The Illinois-based system generated revenue of $12.8 billion last year, significantly greater than Summa’s $1.4 billion. |
