Lewiston, Maine-based St. Mary’s Health System and Portland-based MaineHealth are “entering into a more streamlined cooperative agreement in response to a fast-changing environment for healthcare delivery in Maine and beyond,” a hospital spokesperson told WMTW. The system established a joint venture in 2021, but will now end it and return to an affiliate relationship.
The Infusion Center at St. Mary’s will remain open for non-oncological services. Current oncology patients will be given the option to transition their care within the region, and staff will be offered positions at St. Mary’s Hospital or affiliated provider practices.
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.
