Davenport, Iowa-based Genesis Health System is now part of MercyOne, the West Des Moines, Iowa-based subsidiary of Trinity Health.
The systems announced the finalization of their combination March 1. MercyOne and Genesis signed a letter of intent in September 2022 to develop a strategic partnership. Genesis’ board of directors unanimously selected MercyOne as its choice for a partner after an exploration process that began in December 2021.
Genesis serves 17 counties in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois and employs nearly 5,000 people. MercyOne is a 19-hospital system that was acquired by Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health as its sole owner in September 2022.
