Two of Illinois' largest orthopedic practices have aggregated and will work as divisions of the newly formed OrthoMidwest.
Chicago-based Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and Rockford-based OrthoIllinois began working under OrthoMidwest Jan. 1, MOR said in a Jan. 3 news release. Aggregating allows both practices to remain autonomous while strengthening their position in the market.
"As the healthcare market continues to change, we are making decisions to help secure our future as an independent practice for the benefit of our patients," OrthoIllinois CEO Anthony Brown said in the release.
