Eugene Monroe, MD, president of Advanced Healthcare
“We could not be more excited about this. Together we will be able to
do much more for our patients, improving quality and controlling the
cost of care. It's the combination of quality and cost that defines true
value in health care.”
“We look forward to combining our efforts and learning from each
other. Aurora's disciplined approach to quality improvement has made it
a leader in implementing best practices and finding better ways to
deliver care. Our physicians share in this pursuit of clinical
excellence.”
“Many of the failures of our country's health care system can be
traced to the fragmented nature of care delivery. “If we can coordinate
care for our patients, ensuring that they receive the right care at the
right time and in the right place, we can improve outcomes and reduce
costs. That's what integrated care is all about, and that's what
Advanced and Aurora will work toward.”
John Konkel, MD, chairman of the board of Advanced Healthcare
"Advanced had sought an affiliation that would allow for the Advanced
physicians to coordinate care over a broad spectrum of services and
patient needs. It's called integrated health care, and we believe it is
the best and most efficient way to provide care. It became clear to us
that Aurora was the right partner. The people of Aurora have created
Wisconsin's most fully integrated health care system.”
Nick Turkal, M.D., chief executive officer of Aurora Health Care
“Our 2 organizations make a wonderful match. We both put the patient
at the center of all we do. We share very similar visions and values,
and we're both committed to continually improving quality and finding
new ways to make health care more efficient and effective.”
“We recognize that much reform is needed in America's health care
system. We simply must find better ways to make care accessible and
affordable for all, and also to ensure that all patients benefit from
best practices in medical care. We firmly believe that integrated health
care is part of the solution.”
Donald J. Nestor, Aurora's executive vice president and chief operating
officer
“We are delighted with this agreement. Our 2 organizations believe in
the same things – clinical quality improvement, service excellence,
innovation, even our approach to patient care. Working together, there
is much we will be able to achieve for those we serve.”
Bev Greenberg, chair of the Aurora Board of Directors and vice president
of Time Warner Cable
“This is a wonderful thing for our community. We are bringing
together some of the most talented people in health care in Wisconsin,
and this will deliver enormous benefits for patients.”
