In 1999, Premier Health became one of the first healthcare companies in the nation to own and operate urgent care centers utilizing a health system, joint-venture model. Today the company is recognized industry-wide as one of most experienced and successful joint-venture, urgent care companies. With experience in 13 states, Premier Health currently manages approximately 40 urgent care clinics in partnership with 10 health systems representing 28 hospitals. Already one of the country's fastest growing urgent care companies with approximately 400,000 annual patient visits, Premier Health is well-positioned to continue its expansion. Premier Health is unique as a joint-venture, urgent care operator with strong physician leadership and a track record of profitability. The company's clinical and administrative teams are unparalleled in the industry for their breadth of "in the trenches" experience planning, building and cost-effectively managing day-to-day urgent care operations. The company offers a comprehensive, turn-key partnership model with Premier Health capable of leading all start-up and operational aspects required to succeed in today's competitive urgent care environment. Premier Health is unique in that its joint-venture clinics operate under its health system partner's name giving each network of clinics instant "brand-equity" and an early competitive advantage in their respective markets. Premier Health works closely with its partners to improve coordination of care across service-lines through systems integration and "patient navigation" processes that pave the way for "downstream referrals." From quality measures to policies and procedures, every effort is made to create a partnership that is virtually seamless from the perspective of the healthcare consumer. Premier Health is mission-driven with an underlying commitment to providing convenient access to quality, cost effective care in an urgent care setting.
