Business Atrium Health's mega deal is back on track. An Illinois health board voted unanimously Monday to approve an application related to plans to combine health care giant Atrium Health with Illinois- and Wisconsin-based hospital system Advocate Aurora Health. But other key regulatory hurdles still loom. The deal would create the fifth largest health system in the country, Atrium CEO Gene Woods has said. Those plans encountered an unexpected stumble in September. The Illinois board examining the deal voted first to reject the application and then later decided to postpone a vote.
