Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is using a new state law to review two proposed hospital mergers to determine whether they are in the public’s interest.
One involves the 25-hospital system that would be created by the merger of Essentia Health and the Marshfield Clinic Health System.
The other would unite St. Luke’s Duluth and Aspirus Health health systems.
Both proposed mergers were announced in July.
