Two Valley health care systems to start working together

April 20, 2013

The John C. Lincoln Health Network and Scottsdale Healthcare have announced plans to work together . Officials stress the new arrangement is not a merger, and that each system will still be legally separate. Discussions between the two on their plan are expected to be done by the end of July.

Eugene Schneller explained what this move means. Schellner is a professor in the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and teaches health care economics.
