NorthStar Anesthesia has broadened its collaboration with AdventHealth through a new partnership at AdventHealth Ottawa in Kansas, US.

This strategic move enhances NorthStar's integration within the AdventHealth network and is aimed at supporting the relaunch of the hospital's obstetrics (OB) programme.

The partnership aims to deliver sustainable anaesthesia care, providing essential services for mothers and families in the region.

AdventHealth Ottawa, a 44-bed acute care facility, offers whole-person care in Ottawa and the surrounding areas.

As a component of the AdventHealth health system, the hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, and surgical services.

NorthStar Anesthesia CEO Adam Spiegel said: "This partnership represents another powerful step forward in our relationship with AdventHealth.

"We're proud to bring our clinical excellence and operational strength to AdventHealth Ottawa, supporting their mission to provide whole-person care while ensuring long-term sustainability for anaesthesia services."

NorthStar's business model is designed to assist hospitals and health systems in maintaining clinical quality and operational efficiency.

Utilising its nationwide presence and local knowledge, NorthStar aims to support AdventHealth Ottawa in addressing the changing requirements of its patient base and medical professionals.

AdventHealth Ottawa CEO Brendan Johnson said: "We're excited to welcome NorthStar Anesthesia to our Ottawa campus.

"Their commitment to quality and innovation will be instrumental as we resume our OB programme and continue to enhance the patient experience for families in our community."

This partnership follows NorthStar's recent expansion into the Florida market through an agreement with Tampa General Hospital (TGH) North and earlier this year into the Chicagoland area with the 138-bed UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook.
