Grand Junction, Colo.-based St. Mary's Medical Center-SCL Health and Aurora-based Children's Hospital Colorado will embark on a formal care alliance to provide children and their families in the region with the highest level of coordinated care.
Under the agreement, the organizations will create a joint child care alliance council. The council will be responsible for streamlining operations, improving quality, providing collaborative case management and advancing research for both organizations.
"We believe all children should benefit from the knowledge and expertise of our pediatric experts, regardless of where they choose to receive care. The ultimate goal of this alliance is to provide the highest quality pediatric care in the local community and to streamline coordination," said Jena Hausmann, CEO of Children's Hospital Colorado.
