Affiliation designed to further enhance healthcare excellence
throughout state's health systems
ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier
Anesthesia, a national leader and specialist in anesthesia practice
management, today announced its affiliation with the Ohio Hospital
Association's (OHA) Corporate Partner Program.
Premier Anesthesia Creates Alliance with
the Ohio Hospital Association
This partnership seeks to further enhance anesthesia delivery in
Ohio by aligning Premier
Anesthesia's expertise and services with OHA's mission. As the
united voice of Ohio's hospitals,
OHA leverages data and specialized resources to lead in shaping
health policy, spearheading quality improvement endeavors and
championing economic sustainability to benefit its diverse
membership.
With roots dating back to the 1980s, Premier Anesthesia is one
of the country's oldest single-specialty anesthesia practice
management groups. It is also one of the only remaining independent
national anesthesia groups that is privately held, without outside
private equity investment or influence. Premier Anesthesia is
frequently engaged by hospitals and ambulatory surgery groups to
stabilize programs, tap into its substantial recruiting strength to
improve staffing and coverage, and provide administrators with
robust, transparent data reporting for visibility and control over
growing their surgical services while containing the escalating
costs of anesthesia.
Premier Anesthesia has more than a decade of service in the
state of Ohio, and this
collaboration takes on a heightened significance with the company's
recent expansion to be the exclusive anesthesia group at Trinity
Healthcare's Mount Carmel East hospital in greater Columbus, Ohio. This growth in the
Ohio market not only amplifies
Premier Anesthesia's commitment to delivering exceptional
healthcare services in the state, but also underscores the pivotal
role its hospitals play in the Ohio healthcare landscape.
Premier Anesthesia's alliance with OHA's Corporate Partner
Program reflects a shared commitment to advancing healthcare
excellence in Ohio. Together, they
aim to strengthen the impact of anesthesia practice and management
to improve the availability and delivery of patient care in the
state.
"We welcome Premier Anesthesia to our community of corporate
partners and to share its expertise and services with OHA
members, as anesthesia delivery remains an important component of
the health care delivery system," said James Guliano, senior vice president of
operations and chief clinical officer, OHA.
"Ohio Hospital Association serves an incredible mission for the
state's network of hospitals, and Premier Anesthesia is honored to
join forces with it. We believe this collaboration will benefit
Premier Anesthesia's current and future hospital partners in
Ohio and our collective commitment
to innovation, advancing healthcare excellence and enhancing
patient care standards across the state. Together, we are dedicated
to making a positive impact on the healthcare landscape of
Ohio," added Preston Smith, FACHE, president of Premier
Anesthesia.
Premier Anesthesia has been on a steady growth trajectory
nationwide as hospitals are becoming increasingly disenfranchised
by those anesthesia groups that align with private equity investors
or shareholders rather than the unique needs of the hospitals and
patients they serve. While instability in the market has resulted
in other national groups filing for bankruptcy protection or
defending anti-trust lawsuits against the government, Premier
Anesthesia remains committed to its core focus on the fundamentals:
patient care, practice management and customer service.
