  Partners HealthCare to open Danvers facility - The Boston Globe
Partners HealthCare plans to open a $100 million outpatient care center within two years in the vacant portion of the OSRAM Sylvania world headquarters along Route 128 in Danvers, company officials said yesterday.
The move puts Partners HealthCare, the parent corporation of Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's, and the North Shore Medical Center in Salem, in a position to further squeeze its main competitor in the North Shore area -- the smaller, independent Northeast Health System.
Partners also has had an advantage in being able to secure lucrative contracts with insurance companies because it is New England's largest healthcare network, with a physician's group of 4,500 doctors and revenues of nearly $5 billion in 2004.

 Partners pressures hospital group - The Boston Globe
Partners HealthCare, the parent corporation of Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, is using its market clout to pressure a North Shore hospital group and its 300 doctors to send patients to Partners facilities, including to a hospital in Salem that is losing money.
Partners executives have notified Northeast Health System, which operates hospitals in Beverly and Gloucester, that it will be cut out of a lucrative affiliation agreement unless it cooperates more fully in Partners' vision for a regional healthcare network.
Partners is planning to build a $60 million outpatient care center in an old light-bulb factory in Danvers, which would compete directly with an outpatient center that Northeast Health System said it is building on the grounds of the former Danvers State Hospital.
