Mount Carmel Health System and Adeptus Health Partner to Enhance Emergency Medical Care in Central Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio and LEWISVILLE, Texas, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mount Carmel Health System and Adeptus Health Inc. (NYSE: ADPT) ("Adeptus Health") today announced that they have entered into a new partnership to improve access to emergency medical care in central Ohio. The joint venture will identify multiple sites for freestanding emergency rooms in the Columbus, Ohio area to provide local communities with more convenient access to emergency medical care services. The fully equipped freestanding emergency rooms are expected to provide central Ohio residents with enhanced, integrated care and emergent patients with expedited access to all of the services provided by Mount Carmel. "This partnership reflects Mount Carmel's vision for transforming healthcare for the residents of central Ohio by providing high-quality, people-centered care when and where they need it," said Claus von Zychlin, President and CEO of Mount Carmel Health System. "We are excited to work with Adeptus Health and bring its innovative delivery model and exceptional patient experience to the communities we serve." The partnership will help address the long-standing national challenge of expanding community access to high quality emergency care. As the most recent American College of Emergency Physicians' (ACEP) National Report Card highlights, emergency visits continue to rise and as physicians overwhelmingly noted, this increase has been combined in part with an escalation in the acuity of patients' injuries and/or illnesses. This underscores the growing need for additional access points to high quality, 24/7 emergency care. "Through strategic partnerships with leading healthcare systems, such as Mount Carmel, we are providing more and more communities with access to the highest quality emergency care and, in the process, helping to transform the delivery of emergency medical care in the US,"added Thomas S. Hall, Chairman and CEO of Adeptus Health. "Through this partnership, we're proud to expand into our fifth state and look forward to working closely with Mount Carmel to provide patients and communities in central Ohio with convenient, high quality emergency care."
