North Memorial has chosen to remain independent from other health care organizations, but we recognize the value of carefully selected partnerships that strengthen our ability to serve our communities.
We've created WestHealth with Abbott Northwestern Hospital to provide people in the western suburbs with everything from preventative care to same-day surgery. The Institute for Athletic Medicine, our joint venture with Fairview Health Services, offers the latest treatment for sports injuries.
In addition, we have expanded our relationship with HealthPartners so that more of its 700,000 members can utilize the services of our medical center. We also jointly own PreferredOne - the upper Midwest's leading preferred provider organization - with Fairview Health Services and PreferredOne Physician Associates.
Our newest venture includes a partnership with Fairview Health Services to create a new hospital in Maple Grove. By working together, North Memorial and Fairview will bring exceptional health care services in all specialties to residents of Maple Grove and the surrounding communities.
