New partnership aims to offer Oklahoma patients more choice in care settings
Oklahoma City, US-based hospital, outpatient centre and clinic operator HPI Holdings LLC, Oklahoma healthcare system INTEGRIS and ambulatory services provider United Surgical Partners International (USPI) are partnering to offer patients and families greater choice and flexibility of care settings.
“It is more important than ever that healthcare leaders continue to find ways to offer high-quality care in affordable settings,” said Ed Gray, President and CEO of HPI. “We’ve been successful developers and service providers in standalone settings, and we’re pleased to continue development in that space while also establishing stronger connectivity to INTEGRIS, which offers Oklahoma’s most comprehensive level of services from primary care to transplant and everything in between.”
Tim Pehrson, President and CEO of INTEGRIS, said: “The joint venture helps INTEGRIS continue our progress toward improving consumer access to care, delivering exceptional patient experiences, lowering the overall cost of care, and growing the number of people and families we’re able to serve.”
“USPI is honoured to both expand our relationship with INTEGRIS and establish this partnership with HPI,” said Brett Brodnax, President of USP. “HPI physicians, management and staff have distinguished themselves by serving the surgical needs of the Oklahoma City community with excellence in quality, safety and patient satisfaction.”
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
