HSHS St. Vincent Regional Cancer Center and Green Bay Oncology are beginning the process for a new business alignment.
HSHS St. Vincent Regional Cancer Center and GBO have entered into a professional services agreement and a management services agreement, which will go into effect June 1.
The organizations have collaborated to provide cancer services for more than 35 years and will take the next step to work more closely with Prevea Health to improve overall care delivery for patients.
GBO has an office in the Medical Services Building on the campus of HSHS St. Clare Memorial Hospital in Oconto Falls.
“Together, we are looking forward to this next step, which will allow us to jointly further develop our cancer service line, including medical and radiation oncology,” said Therese Pandl, Hospital Sisters Health System Eastern Wisconsin Division president and CEO. “We are stronger together operating a coordinated platform to effectively advance cancer care.”
“HSHS St. Vincent Regional Cancer Center and Green Bay Oncology have long-established relationships with many cancer care providers in Eastern Wisconsin. We both remain committed to them and the patients we serve,” said Dr. David Groteluschen, GBO president. “This new business model is better suited to the evolving health care environment, and as a result we will be able to take our expert care to more patients and improve each episode of care from a value and quality standpoint.”
The new alignment is not a physician practice acquisition.
In keeping with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requirements for hospital-based billing, all Wisconsin GBO locations will become departments of HSHS St. Vincent Hospital.
GBO nurses, laboratory staff and medical assistants will become HSHS St. Vincent Hospital colleagues. They will continue in their current roles to be managed by GBO.
