Partnerships

Providence Health Care is a Preferred Partner with Union Hospital’s Accountable Care Organization (ACO). This ACO consists of doctors, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients. The goal of an ACO is to coordinate care and ensure patients are receiving the right care at the right time, avoiding unnecessary services, and preventing medical errors.

Our preferred partner relationship was established in 2012.  The relationship is a result of PHC’s 5-Star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, our low patient return to hospital rate, and the excellent care we provide to our patients.
