Hybrid Healthcare Pioneer Complements Expansion With New Brand
INtuitive Health partners with health systems nationwide to build, operate, and launch retail hybrid healthcare facilities.
PLANO, Texas, July 5, 2017 (Newswire.com) - The landscape of healthcare is changing. Better access, better service and honest billing have become patient directives, because it makes sense — it's intuitive. The team who developed the hybrid care model and built the chain of successful, North Texas based, Legacy ER & Urgent Care facilities, is now launching INtuitive Health. INtuitive Health will serve as an expansion brand to partner with health systems around the country.
Joint venture partnerships have been in the works since second quarter of 2016, but efforts have recently been accelerated due to consumer request and a heightened interest from health systems. "North Texas has provided an exceptional proving ground," said Thom Herrmann, CEO and President of INtuitive Health. "The ability to meet our patients' needs, while maintaining a high level of customer service and providing honest billing, has been the winning combination for us." The state of Texas is a semi-regulated state, which allows ownership of freestanding emergency departments independent of hospital systems. "The perception that free standing emergency rooms and urgent care facilities are on every corner is not exactly untrue. However, this incredible rise has also seen a continued sell-off, as consumers continue to understand the costs associated with an emergency department and owners understand the expense of operations," Herrmann continued. "In comparison, our facilities have seen a consistent level of growth since 2008, regardless of the 500 percent increase in competition. This is a direct result of our hybrid care model and relentless pursuit of customer service."

As expansion continues, INtuitive Health will remain dedicated to the support and operations of their Legacy ER & Urgent Care locations. The executive team will remain in place, with the addition of healthcare leadership veterans to the Board of Directors and the Business Development team. "We have an accomplished team of healthcare specialists, advisors, and capital partners in place," Herrmann stated. "We are excited to bring our hybrid care and customer service model to quality health systems around the country."
