HAMILTON — Crouse Hospital of Syracuse today announced it is providing “visiting consultative services” at Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton.
The services, intended for patients in the Hamilton area and Madison County, are part of Crouse’s affiliation with Community Memorial Hospital, Crouse said in a news release.
The medical services include general-surgical consultations, vascular care, gastrointestinal care, and obstetrical/gynecological care, Crouse said.
Syracuse–based physicians representing Central New York Surgical Physicians, P.C.; Vascular Care of Fayetteville; Syracuse Gastroenterological Associates, P.C.; and CNY Women’s Healthcare are offering the services on specific weekdays at Community Memorial Hospital, according to Crouse.
“Our partnership with Crouse Hospital enables us to provide the highest level of specialty medical care services to the residents of Hamilton and our surrounding community,” Sean Fadale, CEO of Community Memorial Hospital, said in the Crouse news release.
Community Memorial, which employs nearly 450 people, expects to add other visiting specialty services in the near future, according to Fadale.
Crouse and Community Memorial hospitals formalized an affiliation in 2012 as part of Crouse’s “strategic focus on developing a more coordinated and comprehensive network of care delivery,” according to the Syracuse hospital.
Crouse’s partnership with Community Memorial also includes joint projects focusing on enhancing the information-technology infrastructure at the Hamilton hospital and establishing a more “seamless level of connectivity” between the two facilities, Crouse said.
The effort also included the formation in 2010 of Crouse Medical Practice and its acquisition of Internist Associates of CNY, the area’s largest internal-medicine practice, according to Crouse Hospital.
Crouse Hospital employs about 2,700 people total and generated $360 million in revenue in its most recent fiscal year, according to the Business Journal 500publication.
