title: Here we go again. Tufts-NEMC upcoming split with Lifespan may signal second coming of hospital system 'de-mergers'.
abstract: After coming to the conclusion that local relationships take precedence over system ties, Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston is paying $30 million to part ways with its out-of-state parent, Lifespan Corp. Lifespan President and CEO George Vecchione (left) is overseeing the breakup, which is part of a recent spate of relatively amicable merger splits.
