New facility titles align with regional expansion of innovative Steward care model and physician network

Several area hospitals announced today that they will be updating their hospital names and branding as part of their ongoing integration into the innovative, patient-centered Steward Health Care System.

Steward, a physician-led health company, has created a model of health care focused on patient wellness and preventative care that has been proven to improve outcomes while reducing costs. That model along with Steward’s proprietary patient care technology has fueled the company’s recent expansion to become the largest private provider of hospital services in the United States. The company has simultaneously increased its physician network by more than 500%.

Steward will now officially brand its four local hospitals within the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys, all of which became Steward family hospitals in May 2017. The new hospital names will reflect the regional expansion of access to the integrated, community based health care model pioneered by Steward – a model that is currently being introduced at the new Steward family hospitals in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The planned hospital title updates include:

Sharon Regional Health System in Sharon, PA will become Sharon Regional Medical Center

 

Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Warren, OH will become Trumbull Regional Medical Center

 

 

Northside Medical Center in Youngstown, OH will become Northside Regional Medical Center

 

 

Each of the aforementioned hospitals will receive updated logos and signage over the coming months. Online listings of the hospitals will be updated through a Steward technology partnership with Yext, a company specializing in search engine marketing and data maintenance.

“This is about much more than just updating hospital titles,” said Josh Putter, Central Division President of Steward Health Care. “It is a reflection of Steward’s commitment to ensure these hospitals continue to serve as a vital resource to patients in every corner of the regions they serve. Our service availability and our physicians network will also grow regionally in Ohio and Pennsylvania as they have in other states. That will mean better access, higher quality, and more coordinated care for patients. Our regional approach will provide area patients greater access to Steward’s life-saving medical technology and world-class direct care services – all in the communities where patients live.”

One of the first major technology investments being brought to the Ohio and Pennsylvania hospitals for the benefit of local patients by Steward is a new, advanced electronic health record (ERH) system. This system provides a care coordination that connects every point of patient care anywhere in the healthcare continuum to tell the entire patient story. Caregiver training on the innovative multi-million dollar system provided to area hospitals by Steward in partnership with Meditech has already begun. The technology is expected to go live in the Ohio and Pennsylvania facilities by July 2018.
