'Desire to Lead' Bringing Sanford, Intermountain Together
"This is not something that needs to happen. This is not a turnaround. This is something that should happen for the future of American health care," says
"One that includes incredible clinical care that people can be assured, and be focused, that their health care is being provided affordably," says
Addressing employees
Krabbenhoft thanks
"I think they should be optimistic. Today I hope they leave work and go home and tell their spouses and their families that they're working for a really vibrant company that's changing the state of things. Changing the course of history today. They're going to be part of it," Krabbenhoft said.
Once the merger takes place in the summer of 2021, the organization will employ 89,000 people.
"These are going to be brothers and sisters working together collaboratively on any number of problems. Hopefully, by then, the pandemic will be in our rearview mirror. But think of the good we can do not with 24 and 46 hospitals but with 70 hospitals and really good people working in them,"
New system will be beacon
"This merger is the next phase of being a forever organization. It will provide us with size, scope and resiliency to be able to not only weather the current health care environment and economic environment, it provides us with the tool to thrive within that. We have no desire to just exist. We have a desire to lead,"
