In an 8-page letter of intent dated June 16 and entitled “For Michigan, By Michigan,” the leaderships of the two nonprofit corporations elaborate on their “shared goal” of establishing the new firm to “transform health care and coverage in Michigan.”
Signed by the Board Chair, CEO and President of both hospital groups, the letter goes on at length about how the merger will “improve health, health access and health equity,” “enhance customer experience,” “improve the quality, value, and outcomes of health care,” “make health care more affordable for the communities we serve” and “ensure the voices of team members and physicians are heard.”
