"Faced with the challenges of today’s healthcare environment – I knew we needed to take a proactive approach to patient care. Advancing managed care and decreasing reimbursements were squeezing profits, and hindering our ability to do what we do best – care for our patients.

We had to take an innovative approach. Specialty Health Services Management analyzed our situation and implemented a high quality bariatric surgery program.

A revenue-intense, elective procedure, endorsed by the National Institutes of Health and covered by most insurance plans, this turn-key program represented an opportunity to dramatically improve our bottom line.

Within months Specialty Health had a comprehensive program up and running in our hospital. They developed a highly effective marketing program drawing patients from hundreds of miles away, dramatically increasing our service area and enhancing our regional reputation.

Specialty Health is a long-term strategic partner that focuses on results. They have aligned their interests with ours to ensure success. The business of healthcare will continue to change. With Specialty Health, we are prepared to change with it. I wish every decision were this straightforward."
