Through the affiliation, both organizations will “share resources and clinical protocols, develop and use standardized patient measures and augment educational opportunities,” according to the article.
Under the terms of the agreement, Freeman Health System will also provide specialists to Girard Medical Center on a weekly basis.
Both systems will retain their own independent board of directors and medical staff. The affiliation agreement will not interfere with each facility’s existing partnerships or affiliations.
“Freeman and Girard are responding to the growing demand for additional healthcare options in the communities [they] serve,” said Paula Baker, CEO of Freeman Health System, during a press conference. “By working closely with Girard, the spectrum of services available through the two organizations will significantly increase.”
