As I write this, the name of the new organization has not been finalized, but by the time you read this, it may well have been announced. Among the many key reasons for the merger is to improve cost, quality and access to care. We are working diligently to expand existing services and add new services. We strive to become experts at care management and reduce the total health care spend for the population we serve. We must also have sufficient scale to recruit and retain the very best talent. This includes doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and the many experts behind the scenes that combine to deliver high-quality care. In this competitive labor market, being an employer of choice is a strategic advantage. We will enhance medical education through various residency programs, ensuring a supply of expert physicians for many years to come. In addition, we have always focused on being a health system that is a satisfying place to practice medicine. That has not changed. Other goals that you may not have thought about are how credit ratings and access to capital improve through enhanced size, scale, operating performance and balance sheet management. Our commitment to our local communities is supported by generous giving and philanthropy. We will heighten these efforts as we form partnerships throughout the community. What will not change is our commitment to our communities, the patients we serve and the thousands of jobs we support. Butler Health System has a rich, 125-year history. We have positioned ourselves to continue this great tradition for the next century. I hope that the new year finds you healthy and well. All the best to you in 2023. And, as always, thank you for choosing Butler Health System. HEALTH LINK 2 |
