FAIRBANKS—The Greater Fairbanks Community Hospital Foundation is ending its 15-year affiliation with Phoenix-based Banner Health.

The foundation, which owns the hospital, announced in a Thursday afternoon news release that it is considering an affiliation with "one of several health systems." The news release did not name any of the health systems being considered as an operator of the hospital.

Called it back when I worked for Banner.

Swedish and Providence is one in the same. Kenia peninsula hospital will be a community connect of Providence this summer.

Honestly I don't think that you will see a difference on the outside other than the name on the paychecks

My money is on Providence though

Yeah I know.  Doesn't keep me from hoping they fire a couple of the ER docs though.  Burton can choke on a bag of dicks, the pretentious jackass.

You do realize that the ER doctors are not FMH/Banner employees they are independent contractors, right?

Yeah I know, yet Banner bends over backward to keep them happy.

Not just in AK. All over Southern California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho. And some other locations as well like a handful of Walgreens to start. Kind of like little argent care centers.

FYI

Providence signs letter of intent with Fairbanks Hospital Foundation

As part of the letter of intent, we will negotiate a transition lease – under essentially the same terms as Banner – with the intent to negotiate a multi-year lease in the future. The lease agreement will be with Western HealthConnect, the entity formed to allow Providence to remain Catholic and secular affiliates to remain secular. This is the same model we used for our affiliations with Swedish, PacMed and Kadlec
