Omaha-based Nebraska Medicine is set to take over operations of Internal Medical Associates in Grand Island, Neb., July 1.
Physician partners at Internal Medical Associates recently approached Nebraska Medicine to operate the clinic.
Each year, the Internal Medical Associates serves more than 10,500 patients. The clinic includes six internal medicine physicians, one rheumatologist and four advanced practice providers.
"It's after careful consideration that we determined it is in the best interest of our patients to join the Nebraska Medicine system," Jennifer Brown, MD, a physician at Internal Medical Associates, said in a prepared statement. "With a complex and constantly-changing landscape in the healthcare industry, the partnership will allow us to focus our time and energies on where our true passion lies: caring for the whole patient — for life."
