Furthermore, it expands NorthShore’s reach as a regional, community-connected healthcare system for the Chicago area.
NorthShore president and CEO Gallagher said: “Our shared approach is built around community-connected care which means developing a strong and unified presence to meet the unique needs of patients through personal and specialised care.
“Northwest Community and NorthShore share a culture that combines clinical excellence with compassionate relationships between our care team members and the patients we serve, which is critical now more than ever given the extraordinary times in which we are living.”
The organisations now have more than 4,250 doctors across immediate, primary, specialty and complex care. They intend to provide localised care decisions to patients by leveraging each other’s strengths and capabilities.
