MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — South Dakota-based Sanford Health pulled the plug on its merger discussions with Minneapolis-based Fairview Health Services on Wednesday, citing the hostile reception the proposal has faced in Minnesota.
Sanford Health CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft said in a statement that his health care system has a policy of “only going where we are invited.” He said discussions with Fairview had “incredibly positive beginnings,” but added that Sanford now finds itself “unwelcome by some interested parties and key stakeholders of our proposed merger partner.”
