St Luke’s Seeks Health System Merger Across Iowa
St Luke’s plans a merger with other Iowa hospitals to form a regional health system. The move aims to reduce small independent hospitals and bolster system strength, while keeping hospital operations and boards separate. Key leaders include Carroll Reasoner as vice chair and John Keck as chair of the new parent board. Iowa Health System president David Ramsey will continue in his role. A Cedar Rapids PHO with Mercy Medical Center and the Independent Physicians Association will contract with employers to deliver costed care.
