Sparrow Health System To Join University Of Michigan Health Under Proposed Agreement

Sparrow Health System will join University of Michigan (U-M) Health under a proposed agreement. The U-M Board of Regents approved moving ahead with the agreement December 8, 2022. The Sparrow Health System board of directors gave its approval on November 28. The agreement is expected to be completed in the first half of 2023, pending final regulatory approvals and completion of the closing process.

The two organizations had entered an affiliation in 2019 for pediatric services. That agreement paved the way for ongoing collaboration. Sparrow’s long-term strategy is to create a statewide system of care. Marschall . . .
