CHI Franciscan, Virginia Mason finalize clinical affiliation

Tacoma, Wash.-based CHI Franciscan Health and Seattle-based Virginia Mason Health System have signed a definitive agreement to form a strategic affiliation and clinical partnership to benefit residents in the Puget Sound area.

Over the next several months, both organizations will collaborate on projects to further improve the delivery of quality care and explore the possibility of offering new programs to Puget Sound residents.

The organizations — one faith-based, the other, secular, — declared their intent to partner in November 2016.

"Both of our organizations have a strategic focus to deliver unparalleled clinical quality, superior patient experiences and exceptional care," said Ketul Patel, CEO and senior vice president of divisional operations for the Pacific Northwest region of CHI Franciscan Health. "Together, we will leverage our mutual strengths and further develop our partnership to benefit communities throughout the Puget Sound."

"I'm excited about this affiliation and what it means for Virginia Mason, CHI Franciscan and all the patients we will serve as we collaborate to provide the highest quality healthcare," said Virginia Mason Health System Chairman and CEO Gary Kaplan, MD.
