Five Kansas hospitals join forces to improve care
Salina Regional Health Center announced it is joining four other independent hospitals to form a new collaboration, called Astra Health, to address the healthcare needs of rural communities. The partnership includes Amberwell Health, LMH Health, Salina Regional Health Center, Newman Regional Health and The University of Kansas Health System. Together, these hospitals serve more than 500,000 patients each year, reaching nearly every county in Kansas. Astra Health aims to improve clinical outcomes, enhance access to care and provide more affordable healthcare options for Kansans. The collaborative model allows independent hospitals to benefit from the scale and shared resources of larger health systems while maintaining their individual identities and independence.
