Sanjay Sutaria, MD, founder of United Anesthesia Associates in Elgin, has worked with Sherman Hospital for 30 years providing anesthesia services.
He told the Herald that his company had been negotiating with Advocate for more than a year and half on a contract before the hospital chain decided to go with another provider.
