Officials representing PeaceHealth said the strategic collaboration will provide patients with prompt access to complex tertiary and quaternary care when needed, and allow both organizations to work together to continue to improve the quality, safety and cost effectiveness of care.
“We have enjoyed a longstanding relationship with UW Medicine, and we’re pleased to develop this collaboration for our Northwest Network patients,” said Alan Yordy, president and chief mission officer for PeaceHealth. “As healthcare systems ready themselves for reform, we will continue to see a wide array of relationships between hospitals and healthcare systems.”
PeaceHealth’s Northwest Network covers its hospitals and medical practices in Whatcom County, on San Juan Island and in Ketchikan, Alaska.
