Sanford and Fairview health merger under scrutiny of Minnesota Attorney General following passage of bill

(St. Paul, MN) -- The proposed Sanford-Fairview merger will have another set of eyes watching over the process.

A bill passed the Minnesota Legislature that allows the state's Attorney General to oversee large-scale transactions. If the two healthcare facilities unite, approximately 80,000 employees would be impacted.
