Under the deal, Atrium will invest $2 billion in WakeMed over the next decade, along with $150 million for community health initiatives in Wake County.

The combination still needs approval from state and federal regulators before it can move forward.

And, you know, from our perspective, Atrium or Advocate Health, which is their parent company, you know, it's one of the most expensive systems in the country.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And we believe that it will actually make prices go up at WakeMed and also that patient care could get worse.
Joel BrownHOST
And now Governor Stein weighing in, saying recent changes have strengthened the proposal and he will not stand in its way.
Joel BrownHOST
Stein says the companies have agreed to cap price increases for the next five years, boost charity care, and guarantee that a promised $2 billion investment fully funds hospital improvements.
