The four-hospital system, which includes an ASC, operates across Southeast Wisconsin. It employs more than 4,700 people, including 1,000 physicians and other clinicians.

This is the third deal Optum has made with health systems this year. In January, Optum agreed to take over Owensboro (Ky.) Health’s RCM and information technology operations, and Brewer, Maine-based Northern Light Health transferred 1,400 of its office-based employees to the company.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
