Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of Adventist Midwest Health affiliation with Alexian Brothers Health System. The affiliation includes the formation of a joint operating company (JOC), AMITA Health.
Adventist Midwest Health (Adventist Midwest), located in Hinsdale, IL, is a regional health system with four hospitals in the greater Chicago area with operating revenue of approximately $700 million. Adventist Midwest is part of Adventist Health System (FL), the largest non-Catholic faith-based healthcare system in the U.S. and a Ziegler client since 1981. Alexian Brothers Health System (Alexian Brothers), located in Arlington Heights, IL, is a regional health system with three acute care hospitals, a behavior health hospital and a rehab hospital with more than $1 billion in revenues. Alexian Brothers is part of Ascension Health (MO), the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system.
The newly formed operating company will allow Adventist Midwest and Alexian Brothers to integrate their clinical programs and create a broad network of healthcare system, serving a combined population of more than 3.8 million people. AMITA Health is the third-largest health system in Illinois.
The JOC will allow the two separate organizations to preserve their respective religious identities and mission priorities, and to integrate their operations while maintaining separate ownership of their assets. The affiliation will result in a notably diverse physician provider network, bringing together more than 3,000 physicians to offer better coordinated, more comprehensive care for patients. Ziegler provided special advisory services to Adventist Midwest during the period leading up to the signing of the LOI.
