South Bend, Ind.-based Beacon Health System will acquire 35 outpatient clinics and an ASC from Ascension Michigan, a division of St. Louis-based Ascension Health, according to an April 3 report from the South Bend Tribune.
Beacon will also acquire four hospitals, in total gaining more than 2,700 associates, including 261 providers.
Ascension is planning an exit from Michigan altogether, according to the report. Beacon plans to retain all current providers. The financial terms of the agreement, which is expected to close this summer, were not disclosed.
