In December 2011, an administrative judge upheld the FTC's decision noting that the behavior of ProMedica health system and St. Luke's was indeed anticompetitive and ordered ProMedica to divest St. Luke's to a buyer that would be approved by the FTC within 180 days of the date of the order.
2011年12月，行政法官维持FTC的决定，指出ProMedica卫生系统与St. Luke的行为确是反竞争行为，并命令ProMedica将分解St. Luke给买方，并在180天内得到FTC的批准。
