Cloud County Health Center in Concordia, Kan., and Salina (Kan.) Regional Health Center began an affiliation agreement May 1, reports Salina Journal.
Under the new partnership, all patients that come to CCHC must register with hospital admission services and CCHC's billing activity will be managed through a different processing center for improved coordination.
"The goal in this agreement is to improve patient care in the region by better coordinating services between our two hospitals," Cherri Waites, CCHC president of operations, told the Salina Journal.
