Beloit Health System will Assist Community Health Systems

January 8, 2015…. Beloit Health System is prepared to further explore an affiliation agreement with Community Health Systems of Wisconsinwhich owns and operates Beloit Area Community Health Center (BACHC).  Community Health Systemsis currently in the middle of Chapter 11 Restructuring.

“We are very interestedin helping our area residents who have no health insurance or limited coverage get the healthcare they need,” stated Tim McKevett, President and CEO of Beloit Health System. “The loss of services at Beloit Area Community Health Center would have a potential negative impact on the health of our community.  We have been working to form an affiliation with BACHC and they have recently made the appropriate changes for us to move forward with this process.”

The results of a recent Community Health System operational review by an independent consulting firm, Guidian Healthcare Consulting out of Georgia, produced some troubling results. “We have analyzed the problems unveiled by the consulting firm and the potential solutions recommended to help,” added McKevett. “We feel they have taken appropriate actions to make a future affiliation possible.  We are willing to assist and work with Community Health Systems in an attempt to keep the facility open for the residents of our Community that currently utilize the Center and to facilitate future growth.” 

Julie Sprecher, Chief Administrative Officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., was named the interim CEO by the CHS Board in early December. Sprecher is looking forward to working with Beloit Health System in an attempt to provide the community high quality healthcare. “Most of our patients will access Beloit Health System at some point and by working together we can better ensure continuity of care. We appreciate Beloit Health System’s willingness to consider options.”  Board Chair, Teresa Henderson stated that “CHS is still committed to our original mission of providing quality healthcare to Beloit residents regardless of income.  We look forward to a bright future working with Beloit Health System.”

“We are pleased that we’re able to facilitate options for Beloit Health System to work with Community Health Systems,” stated Jim Harney, President of Harney Management Partners, the corporate advisory company involved in the review. “We believe this will provide the best chance to ensure future success.”
