CORE CLINICAL PARTNERS TO MANAGE QUALITY-DRIVEN HOSPITALIST PROGRAMS AT MUSC HEALTH’S LANCASTER AND CHESTER DIVISIONS
Lancaster, SC (May 7, 2020) – Core Clinical Partners (Core) is thrilled to provide hospital-based physician services to MUSC Health’s Lancaster and Chester locations as of Friday, May 1st. The partnership leverages Core’s and MUSC Health’s aligned values and shared strategic goal to provide high quality health care in South Carolina.
“Core Clinical Partners is excited to partner with MUSC Health – Lancaster Medical Center and MUSC Health – Chester Medical Center as we expand our company footprint into South Carolina,” said Core Chief Executive Officer, Boykin Robinson, MD, MBA.
Core retained 100% of the physicians at both facilities and will add two additional physicians, furthering their commitment to maintaining a hospitalist team of full-time, board-certified, locally based physicians.
“Our partnership with MUSC Health is based on a shared commitment to provide exceptional quality care for each of our patients in a value driven manner,” said Dr. Robinson.
“We appreciate that Core’s founders are industry veterans who want to be more than a vendor to the hospitals they serve,” said the MUSC Health Lancaster Division Chief Medical Officer Edward McCutcheon, MD, MHA. “Their model prioritizes transparency and aligns incentives across all stakeholders, which drives our mission to provide the highest quality healthcare in South Carolina.”
Core looks forward to serving the Lancaster and Chester communities, addressing COVID-19 with the locally rooted teams at each location, and to creating a culture of continuous improvement across both programs.
