Leaders with Kansas City, Kan.-based Kansas University Hospital, KU Medical Center and KU Physicians are set to begin negotiations to iron out a new affiliation agreement, according to a Lawrence Journal-World report.
The three groups first tried to discuss a new affiliation agreement in 2007, but the report said negotiations became contentious over how other hospitals in Kansas City could use the "KU Cancer Center" brand.
According to the report, the current agreement expires Sept. 30, 2012, and the parties will most likely begin meeting later this year.
