Bloomington, Ind. (January 7, 2010) \u2013 Today, leaders from Bloomington Hospital, Bloomington Hospital of Orange County, Clarian Health and Bedford Regional Medical Center came together for a ribbon tying ceremony to officially celebrate the integration between the facilities.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nBloomington Hospital President & CEO Mark Moore opened the ceremony by welcoming guests and introducing the leaders from Bloomington Hospital of Orange County, Bedford Regional Medical Center (already a Clarian Health Partner) and Clarian.\u00a0 Brief comments about the significance of the integration and its benefits were made by Moore; Michael McRobbie, president of Indiana University; Brad Dykes, CEO of Bedford Regional Medical Center; Larry Bailey, incoming CEO of Bloomington Hospital of Orange County; and Dan Evans, president & CEO of Clarian.
\n\u00a0
\nThis event is the culmination of more than two years of research, planning and discussion that makes Bloomington Hospital and Bloomington Hospital of Orange County a part of Clarian\u2019s statewide system of hospitals and health centers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cWhen we made the decision to talk with another organization about integration, Clarian was the natural choice and best fit for Bloomington Hospital and the patients we serve,\u201d says Moore.\u00a0 \u201cClarian is a not-for-profit organization, has strong ties to Indiana University, a reputation for high quality care and service, and treats the majority of patient cases outside the scope of Bloomington Hospital\u2019s services.\u201d
\n\u00a0
\nThe integration of Bloomington Hospital with Clarian became official January 1, following approval by Bloomington Hospital\u2019s and Clarian\u2019s boards of directors.\u00a0 Now work begins on aligning facilities and resources to better support the needs of the patients in south central Indiana and develop a seamless continuum of care.
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cClarian will support Bloomington Hospital to ensure it continues as the region\u2019s preeminent health care provider,\u201d says Evans.
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cI am very pleased and excited to celebrate our integration with Clarian today,\u201d says Moore.\u00a0 \u201cThis is a very positive step for health care in our region.\u00a0 We\u2019re looking forward to working with Clarian and Bedford Regional Medical Center to enhance patient access, streamline patient flow, and create a preeminent health care system for the people of south central Indiana.\u201d<\/p>\n
