Work continues on the potential merger of Fairview Red Wing Health Services into the Mayo Clinic Health System, officials said Friday. Nearly five months after announcing they had entered negotiations, the two parties as well as Fairview Health Services continue researching and evaluating if the new relationship would best meet the needs of the region’s patients. Due diligence began last fall. “We are nearing the end of that process,” Fairview Red Wing officials said in a statement. “At this time, no final decision has been reached. We expect to have that decision in the next several months.”
