Memorial Health System in Abilene and Salina Regional Health Center announced Tuesday that they have agreed to enter into a strategic alliance beginning next year.
With this move, the two hospital systems will better serve the patients and families of the communities in north-central Kansas. This comes after more than a year of study, discussion, planning and negotiation.
At its Tuesday meeting, the Memorial Health Systems board of trustees voted unanimously to approve the affiliation.
“The MHS Board of Trustees have been educating ourselves and discussing the idea of affiliation for years,” said Dr. Steven Schwarting, MHS Board Chair. “We are committed to continuing to provide excellent care to our community and surrounding area.”
