A formal integration agreement has been signed by Beaumont Health and Spectrum Health. The two say this is the latest step in their plan to merge into a new health system. In June, Beaumont Health and Spectrum Health signed a letter of intent to join together to create a new organization. From there, the regulatory review process began. Now they say the new integration agreement signals a commitment to the organizations’ vision to merge for a “more accessible, affordable, equitable and exceptional health care and coverage for people across the state.” The goal is to have the tentatively named BHSH System formed this fall. Spectrum CEO and future BHSH System President Tina Decker says she’s “confident that together we will create an optimal health system For Michigan, By Michigan.”
