For many who have followed this dance between the local healthcare giants it sometimes seems like we just keep going around in circles.
But Fridays announcement does carry some risks for those served by West Penn Allegheny even if that risk is not yet measurable.
Even after West Penn Allegheny announced they had cancelled their agreement with Highmark, helicopters still took off from the hospital just business as usual for doctors, nurses, and others who serve patients in this region including newly recruited personnel.
These are outstanding clinical leaders who are dedicated to the patients here at the West Penn Allegheny Health System, says Dr. Keith Ghezzi, the interim president of West Penn Allegheny, and we have received no indication that they intend to change their plans.
At least in the short term, nobody thinks the announcement will impact those served by West Penn Allegheny.
