A state board rejected a plan Tuesday by Advocate Aurora Health to combine with Southern system Atrium Health — but will revisit the issue in coming months. Advocate and Atrium announced plans in May to unite to create one of the largest health systems in the country, with 67 hospitals and more than 1,000 sites of care across six states. Advocate submitted applications earlier this year for the change to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review board, which typically must approve hospital mergers and sales.
