NORTHSTAR ANESTHESIA PARTNERS WITH METROWEST MEDICAL CENTER
Anesthesia Services Provider Expands into Massachusetts, Bringing Efficiency and Accountability to  Framingham Union Hospital and Leonard Morse Hospital
 
Arlington, TX (July 1, 2013)NorthStar Anesthesia announced today a new partnership with facilities in the MetroWest Medical Center regional health care system. Framingham Union Hospital in Framingham, Mass. and Leonard Morse Hospital in Natick, Mass. serve local communities west of Boston and are the newest healthcare facilities to implement the NorthStar model of anesthesia care.

“We are excited about helping MetroWest and its staff provide top-notch anesthesia care to their patients,” said Dr. Philip Eichenholz, CEO of NorthStar Anesthesia. “Our model of quality, efficiency and accountability will be tailored to meet the needs of these facilities and serve the people of Massachusetts.”

The new partnership marks NorthStar Anesthesia’s growth into New England. NorthStar currently manages anesthesia processes for facilities in eight states and is working on expanding as more hospitals look to fall in line with new regulations under the Affordable Care Act.

“The ability to measure success is critical as the Affordable Care Act will mean hospitals need to increase volume and improve quality to remain profitable,” explained Eichenholz. “NorthStar gives health care systems, like MetroWest, the ability to compare data from multiple hospitals. We make it easy to track the contribution of anesthesia services to operating room efficiency, surgical growth, surgeon satisfaction and hospital profitability,”  

NorthStar is the fastest growing anesthesia management company in the country, recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of “Healthcare’s Hottest.” The “Healthcare’s Hottest” list recognizes the fastest growing healthcare companies headquartered in the US, with at least $20M in revenue for 2011 and in business for five years or more.
