A clinical affiliation linking two independent hospitals formalizes ongoing collaboration between the two, leaders said.
Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber and Indiana Regional Medical Center jointly announced the affiliation agreement Thursday, saying it will enable better coordination of patient care between the two organizations.
âThe overall goal is to preserve and enhance (Windber) and (Indiana) as strong providers of high quality, cost-effective health-care services in each patient service area,â a joint press release said.
Tom Kurtz, Windberâs president and CEO, said the formal affiliation agreement was a natural progression of cooperation between the two health centers.
