New York City-based Hospital for Specialty Surgery and Stamford (Conn.) Health are partnering to expand orthopedic services throughout Connecticut, according to Crain's New York Business.
Here are four notes:
1. Through the partnership, HSS will staff Stamford-based Tully Health Center and begin seeing ambulatory surgery patients.
2. HSS president and Chief Executive Lou Shapiro told Crain's they expect Tully Health's ASC to see more than 400 patients by the year's end.
3. By the end of 2017, HSS also aims to occupy the fifth floor of Stamford Hospital, a 305-bed acute care tertiary facility.
4. Mr. Shapiro said the partnership falls in line with HSS' strategy to expand its orthopedic reach beyond New York City while maintaining its independence. He told Crain's, "We treasure our ability to remain a strong, independent organization, as opposed to what everybody else in the market has opted for."
