Cincinnati Associated Physicians Go Separate Ways; Some Will Join TriHealth

Greater Cincinnati Associated Physicians is splitting up, with physicians negotiating or joining two different healthcare systems and a handful remaining in private practice, according to an Enquirer report.

Five GCAP physicians will join TriHealth, a hospital networked based in Cincinnati. Four physicians will remain in private practice while 26 others are negotiating with Mercy Health Partners, a seven-hospital system in northwest Ohio and southwest Michigan. TriHealth and Mercy are two of the largest healthcare systems in the region.

The physicians are getting out of a 2007 merger with the Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, now called UC Health. The physicians sued in 2009, claiming the Health Alliance had not met terms of the deal. Settlement talks are well along in that lawsuit, according to the report.
