How does St. Luke’s benefit from McCall Memorial Hospital joining the health system?
St. Luke’s mission is “to improve the health of people in the region”. Aligning with other hospitals in the region, such as McCall Memorial Hospital, supports this mission. Sharing the care of patients across a broad service region is better for patients and a more efficient way to provide health care. When patients access the services they need from one aligned system of care duplication of services are reduced. “St. Luke’s believes the best way to deliver medical care today is through a strong regional network of hospitals and physicians. Bringing McCall Memorial Hospital into St. Luke’s Health System strengthens the overall network–it indirectly helps everyone we serve–and it will enhanced medical care to McCall area residents. I am confident of this.” David Pate, MD, CEO, St.
