About this Article

Arlington Heights-based Northwest Community Healthcare is seeking another health care partner for a possible merger or other alliance, but a representative stopped short of providing names. Such talk isn't new: Documents from October 2005 showed that Evanston, Highland Park and Northwest Community hospitals had discussed a potential merger as far back as 1996.
