Palo Alto, Calif.-based Stanford Health Care and Alameda (Calif.) Health System shared plans for a strategic collaboration to expand care access at Hayward, Calif.-based St. Rose Hospital.
St. Rose Hospital is an independent, nonprofit hospital that has served the East Bay for nearly 60 years, according to its website. It provides more than 800 jobs, including more than 300 physicians, according to an April 9 news release.
Under the agreement, Stanford Health and Alameda Health will allocate skilled nursing facility beds for Stanford Health referrals to increase rehabilitative care access, create a community-based inpatient medical psychiatric unit, lease and develop part of St. Rose medical-surgical beds to create Stanford Health managed units, expand operating rooms at St. Rose staffed by Stanford Health surgeons and proceduralists, and will support the AHS/St. Rose Foundation’s community health initiatives.
“By combining our strengths, we are expanding access to high-quality care and creating meaningful impact for the communities we serve,” Mark Fratzke, COO of the Alameda Health System and chair of the St. Rose Hospital board of directors, said in the release. “The collaboration reflects what’s possible when mission-driven organizations come together to better serve patients.”
A timeline for when patients can expect access to new and expanded services will be released as planning progresses.
Alameda Health System comprises three acute care hospitals, an affiliate acute care hospital, a psychiatric hospital, four ambulatory care wellness centers, five post-acute facilities, an adult level 1 trauma center and psychiatric emergency department, the release said.
Stanford Medicine is an integrated academic health system that comprises the Stanford School of Medicine and adult and pediatric healthcare delivery systems.
