Ascension and AdventHealth have pulled the plug on their joint venture Amita Health and are renaming hospitals to reflect their system names, Becker’s reports.
St. Louis-based Ascension and Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based AdventHealth announced in October that they were unwinding Amita Health, a joint venture providing healthcare services in the greater Chicago area, after working together for about seven years. The systems didn’t provide details about what prompted the decision to split up the partnership.
“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,” the systems said in a joint statement.
AdventHealth and Ascension are renaming the hospitals that were previously part of Amita Health as they complete the unwinding of the partnership. Read more.
