BayCare has signed a deal with Northwestern Medicine, a collaboration that officials say is a critical step in the nonprofit’s bid to expand its academic health system. BayCare, which operates 16 hospitals and more than 100 clinics in the region, plans to house its academic and research operations in a 36-acre office park that it purchased earlier this year. The site, adjacent to St. Joseph’s, St. Joseph’s Children’s and St. Joseph’s Women’s hospitals, will be named the BayCare Academic Health and Research Corridor. MORE
