MARSHFIELD, Wis. (WSAW) – Marshfield Clinic Health System and Sioux Falls-based Sanford Health have signed an affiliation agreement to combine their assets and capabilities.
Talks of the merger were previously announced in June.
The merger is expected to close by the end of the year, according to a media release.
“In Sanford Health we found a partner that closely aligns with our culture, mission, and values, and we look forward to continuing on this journey as the premier rural health system in the United States,” said Brian Hoerneman, M.D., interim CEO of Marshfield Clinic Health System. “Our shared commitment to excellence, quality and safety, and delivering an exceptional patient experience for the rural communities we serve makes this partnership a win for our patients and our dedicated teams that carry out our mission daily.”
Health clinic leaders said Sanford Health and Marshfield Clinic Health System will remain two separate, independent organizations until the closing.
