PartnersHealthCare 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 PartnersHealthCare, 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.
