If the University of Minnesota wants to press its billion-dollar plan to take back ownership of its medical center, then it has a willing seller. Fairview Health's chief executive on Monday endorsed a plan to return west and east bank hospitals in Minneapolis to university control if it clears the way for the Minneapolis-based health care provider to merge with South Dakota-based Sanford Health. "We support and formally endorse the University's five-point plan, as we currently understand it, to include the preliminary step of acquiring these assets," said a letter from Fairview CEO James Hereford, which was co-signed by Sanford CEO Bill Gassen.
