(Des Moines, IA) — Michigan-based nonprofit Trinity Health has announced an agreement to acquire all MercyOne health care facilities in Iowa. MercyOne C-E-O Bob Brits says they reached a point with the infrastructure where they need to have one I-T system, one billing system, and one accounting system. MercyOne’s Iowa network includes 16 medical centers and 27 affiliate organizations. The two non-profits will work together on the integration to Trinity and expect it to be completed this summer.
