The new organization combines the programs and services that previously operated as separate entities into a “unified health-care system guided by true collaboration and a shared vision,” Kate Rolf, president and CEO of Nascentia Health, said in a news release.

“This new system looks to the future of home health care in our community while honoring our history and reflecting our continued commitment to providing exceptional care,” said Rolf. “Unifying all of our existing resources into one cohesive health-care system was an inevitable and strategic step to ensure that we’re best positioned to fulfill our mission today, and well into the foreseeable future.”

The Hayner Hoyt Corporation has been working on the new facility since the start of the year. King + King Architects LLP designed the structure, which should be finished in early 2018, Emily Dillon, communications specialist at Nascentia Health, said in an email response to a BJNN inquiry.

About Nascentia Health

As a health-care system “without walls,” Nascentia Health will take a “holistic” approach to patient care, the organization said.

It’ll address immediate needs; support “positive,” long-term medical and lifestyle choices; and leverage “leading-edge,” in-home care approaches and technologies to “improve outcomes and quality of life.”

Specialties will include in-home nursing and medical services; home health aides and elder care; cross-continuum care management; community health and wellness programs; transportation, equipment and “innovative” care technologies; chronic-disease management; and managed long-term care.

“Improving the outcomes and quality of life” for the 48 counties in Nascentia Health’s coverage area will also require a “commitment” to community programs, long-term health education, and social-daycare programs.
