Worcester Telegram quotes David Williams about Optum's takeover of Reliant
Reliant --formerly Fallon Clinic-- has 2600 employees and is almost 90 years old. Optum is purchasing them. Here's what David Williams told the Worcester Telegram:
“A lot of these systems are under strain,” said David E. Williams, president of the Health Business Group, a Boston-based consulting firm. “I think what you’re seeing at the same time is there are some national organizations, health plans and companies like Optum that do have a lot of capital and that have diversified businesses that are looking for growth opportunities.”
