Mercy Iowa City acting president and CEO Mike Trachta said significant unanticipated changes affected the decision. 

“While we have received several proposals and vetted a number of potential partners, we have not identified a partner that is a good long-term fit for us. Therefore, we have made the decision to end our search for a strategic partner and remain an affiliate of MercyOne,” Mr. Trachta said.

The Gazette also reported that Mercy Iowa City’s executive vice president and CFO, Dawna Miller, and the vice president and COO, Judy Andronowitz, are leaving the organization.
