Effective today, the two organizations are officially joined under the name HealthPartners and a single, consumer-governed board of directors. The new, consumer-governed organization is an integrated health care and financing organization serving more than 1.4 million medical and dental members and more than a million patients, primarily in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The combination will provide stronger coordination of patient care, shared planning and capital investments, and new links between care and insurance that will lead to more transparency, choice and value for consumers.
