Summit Health expands connected care with two new partners - NJBIZ

With the latest additions to its network, Summit Health now includes more than 2,500 providers and 12,000 employees across more than 340 locations in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Central Oregon.

Summit Health unveiled partnerships with Westmed Medical Group and New Jersey Urology on Jan. 19.

The company formed by the 2019 merger of CityMD and Summit Medical Group also said Westmed CEO Anthony Viceroy would serve as president and chief operating officer of Summit Health, while NJU President Dr. Martin Goldstein will be chief of urology for the provider.

"An important lesson of this pandemic is how vital it is to expand access to care. The addition of Westmed and NJU enables Summit Health to meet the needs of even more patients through our highly connected care model," said Chief Executive Officer Jeff Alter in a statement. "Health care remains a local phenomenon and this expansion will help show that the more we can develop a long-standing relationship with a patient – however they enter our network – the better we can deliver positive outcomes and manage quality care while controlling costs."

Multispecialty medical practice Westmed has locations in Westchester County, N.Y. and Fairfield County, Conn. New Jersey Urology has more than 50 locations in the Garden State in addition to offices in Pennsylvania.

According to the company, both will initially continue to operate under their current names as "A Summit Health Company."

NJU's addition, in particular, enhances Summit's urologic services while complementing its cancer care options. According to a statement from Goldstein, NJU brings more than 150 urologists, radiation and medical oncologists, and clinicians to Summit Health.

Summit Health's connected care model brings together primary, specialty and urgent care across the New York-metro area. Its newest partnerships, according to the network, will create more opportunities to expand into adjacent areas.
