US-based healthcare services provider Cadence Health and Northwestern Memorial HealthCare (NMHC) have agreed to combine their two healthcare systems.

By combining the health systems, the two firms will form an integrated academic healthcare delivery system to offer services at over 60 sites across Chicago and its suburbs, including four hospitals.

The combined health system will operate under the Northwestern Medicine brand name.

Northwestern Medicine is a trademark of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare and is used by the Northwestern University.

NMHC president and CEO Dean M. Harrison said that Cadence Health is a health system with similar ‘patients first’ values to Northwestern Medicine.

With an integrated approach to patient care, the partnership is expected to enhance the offerings of health care and clinical services in Chicago’s western suburbs.

Cadence Health was formed in 2011 following a merger between Illinois-based Central DuPage Hospital and Delnor Hospital.

NMHC is the parent corporation of Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital and Northwestern Medical Group.
