GREENSBORO, Ga. (AP) — More than 20 hospitals and 1,500 physicians in south and middle Georgia are launching a health care alliance, officials announced Tuesday.
Health care providers announced the launch of Stratus Healthcare during a press conference at the Ritz Carlton on Reynolds Plantation near Greensboro.
The Central Georgia Health System and Tift Regional Health System first announced a partnership in April 2012, and have worked to recruit additional members for the alliance, Central Georgia Health System spokeswoman Megan Allen said in a release Tuesday.
The alliance is slated to include 23 health facilities, including the Columbus Regional Medical Center, Perry Hospital and the South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta. The initiative will focus on patient access, quality and safety, Allen said. Member hospitals will remain independent while using a shared services model.
