Our hospital contracted with Synergy Health Partners to develop an orthopedic surgery program from the ground up. Synergy Health Partners educated our staff and coordinated the program setup. We were presented with exceptionally sourced candidates and hired the first two we interviewed. These were surgeons I don’t think would have ever given a small, rural hospital a second look if it were not for the Synergy Health Partners relationship and work model.

In the first nine months of the program, we had over 1,700 clinic visits and 114 surgeries. We received the County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award for the hospital’s impact on the community and its outreach efforts. We have been able to deliver a service and meet the needs of patients at our community hospital, right here and close to home. Synergy Health Partners has been a true partner in every sense of the word.
