title: An integrated system grows in Boston. Interview by Karen Gardner.
abstract: After news reports highlighting discussions among the major teaching hospitals in Boston last year, two leading academic medical centers--Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital--teamed up to form Partners Healthcare System Inc. Ferdinand Colloredo-Mansfield, the former chairman of MGH and the current co-chair of the new system, spoke recently with TRUSTEE editor Karen Gardner about the integration process now taking place between the two hospitals. Colloredo-Mansfeld, president of Cabot Partners, a real estate investment counseling firm in Boston, has been a trustee of MGH since 1982 and has served as chairman since 1992. He has also been an active participant in the process.
