IRON MOUNTAIN, MI-- The board of Dickinson County Healthcare System has approved an asset purchase agreement with Bellin Health.
Officials say it’s the next step in a process under which Bellin is acquiring DCHS. They say the agreement is necessary for a closing statement that will need to be signed by both health systems. Bellin President and CEO George Kerwin says a substantial amount of work needs to be completed before the deal is closed.
Among the milestones that need to be accomplished are a public hearing and County Board approval of the asset purchase agreement. Both are expected to occur later this month.
Officials anticipate a closing date for the acquisition will be in late June or early July.
