Superior Health Partners just continues to grow it's network of hospitals throughout the Upper Peninsula, with the most recent addition coming from Iron River.
NORTHSTAR Health Systems was recently accepted into the health delivery organization, bringing the total number of hospitals in the Superior Health Partners to nine. NORTHSTAR joins Baraga County Memorial, Bell, Dickinson County Health System, Helen Newberry Joy, Marquette General, Munising Memorial, Portage Health System and Schoolcraft Memorial hospitals.
"The SHP alliance with eight other hospitals in the Upper Peninsula and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will strengthen efforts to improve quality and patient experience while lowering costs," says Connie Koutouzos, CEO of NORTHSTAR. "A notable benefit leveraged by SHP membership includes an infrastructure necessary to meet the challenges we face with healthcare reform including population health management."
Superior Health Partners was established in 2010 by MGH and Bell Hospital.
