Under the agreement, Bellin Health will oversee operations at Northstar’s five clinic locations and provide additional management staff. The clinics will remain under the ownership of Northstar, and employees of the clinics will remain Northstar employees.
The two systems announced an initial partnership in March. Within that agreement, Bellin Health was to provide strategic guidance and resources related to primary preventative medicine, community health initiatives and electronic medical record technology. The latest partnership expands upon the initial agreement by providing Bellin with operational control of Northstar’s clinics. The move is intended to improve efficiency and expand access, according to the release.
