Northeast Health System
Northeast Health System, a network of hospitals,[1] was formed by three upstate New York hospitals. Faced with a larger network, Northeast merged with still other hospitals;[2] the resulting network, under a new name, is twice the size of that competitor.[3]
History[]
Northeast Health was formed by Albany Memorial Hospital, and Samaritan Hospital.[4]
Controversy[]
'Northeast agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle charges of sharing nursing wage information with other local hospitals, to suppress increases. A followup case, against other hospitals and health systems, was for $13.6 million.[5] The New York Times had reported, following the earlier settlement, that more cases were likely to follow.
