Memorial Hospital Belleville (Ill.) and Memorial Hospital East in Shiloh, Ill., have partnered with Emeryville, Calif.-based CEP America, one of the nation's largest clinical staffing agencies, to improve each institution's hospital medicine, emergency medicine, critical care and post-acute care services.
The Belleville facility's partnership with CEP aims to improve its critical care services by expanding the hospital's existing emergency department and hospital medicine programs. The Shiloh facility will similarly expand its ED, along with its inpatient services, and will launch CEP's critical care services in the hospital's intensive care unit in January 2017.
"We are pleased to announce the expansion of our relationship with the CEP America team," said Mark Turner, president of Memorial Regional Health Services. "We believe in the importance of coordinated and integrated care, as well as building the infrastructure to support excellent team-based care. CEP has proven to be a valued partner in our efforts, and we look forward to continuing to serve the healthcare needs of our community through this partnership."
