Apparently, as announced today, Oakwood HealthCare, Beaumont, and Botsford Hospital will merge into a new, yet to be named, organization. This really doesn't mean that much [[remember Henry Ford and Beaumont) but I think that a system like this could hurt hospitals within the City of Detroit. Hospitals like Henry Ford already provide a great deal of charity or discounted care and when a system with 30% market share that only has facilities in the suburbs comes into existence I could see it cannibalizing the market and forcing Henry Ford and Tenet-DMC to close hospitals in the city. My sister worked for Sinai Hospital of Detroit and the same thing happened there. Wealthy suburban residents were pulled to suburban hospitals, causing closures. It's kind of embarrassing in a large [[geographically) city of 700,000 we only have 5 hospitals.
