Vanguard is attempting to purchase DMC and has promised to invest the $500 million over five years on around 20 projects, including a new patient tower at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, as well as an additional $350 million for ongoing repairs and technology upgrades, according to the report.
The letter of intent would also stipulate that if Vanguard fails to meet its commitment to DMC, DMC would become a shareholder, according to the report.
