The alliance will use the organizations’ complementary strengths, with Wexner offering highly specialized care and thousands of clinical trials, while Mercy Health offers a large clinical footprint. Though the alliance has identified 10 objectives, it is focusing its early efforts on three key ones: addressing the opioid epidemic, increasing access to cancer care and increasing access to transplant care.
“Through the Healthy State Alliance, we are uniquely positioned for success based on our shared vision of convenient access to differentiated clinical care across the state, a relentless focus on quality, our combined size and scale, a focus on decreasing costs and our similar values and culture,” said David McQuaid, CEO of Ohio State University Health System and COO of Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
