Stormont-Vail HealthCare, based in Topeka, Kan., has joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
The Mayo Clinic Care Network, established by Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic, is a network of hospitals and health systems that work to improve the quality and delivery of care in their regions. The collaboration gives providers around the nation access to Mayo Clinic's expertise.
Stormont-Vail specialists now have access to various Mayo Clinic resources such as the AskMayoExpert database and electronic consulting that connects physicians with Mayo Clinic experts to answer questions about diagnosis, care management or therapy, according to a news release.
The deal does not involve a change in ownership. The network launched in 2011 and has member organizations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Wisconsin, as well as Puerto Rico and Mexico. Stormont-Vail is the first health system in Kansas to join.
