    • Abstract:
      Last July's merger of Providence Health & Services of Renton, Wash., and St. Joseph Health of Irvine, Calif., gave the combined 50-hospital chain a greater presence in the highly competitive Los Angeles market. Modern Healthcare Editor Merrill Goozner last week spoke with Dr. Richard Afable, CEO of St. Joseph Hoag Health, part of St. Joseph Health, about the merger's implication for competition in the L.A. basin.
