Statement from Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Competition Acting Director on District Court Ruling to Enjoin Advocate/NorthShore Hospital Merger

“The FTC is delighted with today’s district court ruling, which enjoined this merger, and the parties’ subsequent decision to abandon the transaction,” said Tad Lipsky, Acting Director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Competition. “Advocate and NorthShore’s merger would likely have reduced the quality, and increased the cost, of health care for residents of the North Shore area of Chicago.”
