Posted on: Wednesday, 6 July 2005, 18:00 CDT

Pacific Partners Management Services, Inc. (PPMSI) today announced they have terminated their independent practice association (IPA) development agreement with Sequoia Hospital, a Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) hospital in Redwood City, CA, effective July 31, 2005.

Says PPMSI chief executive Larry Bonham, MD, "We're terminating our agreement with Sequoia Hospital because we've determined their long term plans are no longer in the best interest of PPMSI or our clients."
