Midland-based MidMichigan Health, an affiliate of Ann Arbor-based Michigan Medicine, finalized the integration of West Branch (Mich.) Regional Medical Center, officials announced April 2.
West Branch hospital is the seventh hospital to join MidMichigan Health. As part of the deal, the hospital will rebrand to MidMichigan Medical Center-West Branch.
The West Branch hospital began its search for an affiliate in 2011. In September 2017, the hospital's board of trustees voted to select MidMichigan Health as its affiliate, and the organizations signed a definitive agreement in February.
