Medican Merger Hits Speed Bump

Kaleida Health and Erie County Medical Center have worked out a deal to merge, as was ordered by a state commission. Now there is word that the State Health Commissioner has some questions about part of the deal. Commissioner Richard Daines reportedly wants clarification of who has the power to veto plans for new medical procedures and equipment. Judge John Curran, who helped administer the deal, says he will be working to smooth over details needed to get the commissioners' final approval.
