“Like many non-profit health care delivery systems, Allina Health is experiencing significant financial challenges and needs to take prudent steps at this time,” the system said in a statement shared with Becker’s. “We remain strongly committed to being the provider partner for the Cambridge community and surrounding areas.”
Allina Health first delayed the Cambridge Medical Center project in February, citing concerns about rising costs.
An updated budget and timeline for the project, about 50 miles north of Minneapolis, were due to be publicized in the summer.
Now it appears the project may only be continued at some uncertain future date.
“We are grateful for all those who entrust us with their care, and we are confident we will have a new Cambridge Medical Center when the time is right,” Allina Health said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
