Intermountain Exits Colorado Trinsic Network, UCHealth Takes Over

Intermountain Health is pulling out of Trinsic, a Colorado clinically integrated network it has operated as a joint venture with Aurora-based UCHealth. UCHealth will take over the network after Dec. 7, according to a WARN notice Intermountain filed Oct. 2 with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and first reported by Becker's Hospital Review. The notice ties the exit to staffing changes at Trinsic's Broomfield office.

Clinically integrated networks pool physicians and hospitals to coordinate care and negotiate value-based contracts with payers. Building one as a joint venture between two large systems is complex, and partners often diverge on strategy, governance, and how to share risk and savings.

The unwind matters because Intermountain has pushed aggressively into Colorado since its 2022 merger with SCL Health, putting it in direct competition with UCHealth. Exiting the shared network lets each system pursue its own value-based approach, and it is a reminder that cross-system partnerships in overlapping markets are hard to sustain.
