Capella Healthcare Signs LOI With Muskogee Community Hospital To Explore Partnership

July 8, 2011

Muskogee, OK – Capella Healthcare and Muskogee Community Hospital have announced the signing of a Letter of Intent to explore potential partnership opportunities, according to Mike Wiechart, Chief Operating Officer for Capella Healthcare.

Capella Healthcare already operates Muskogee Regional Medical Center, having entered into a 40-year long-term lease of the 275-bed acute-care hospital in April of 2007. Muskogee Community Hospital, a physician-owned and operated facility licensed for 45 beds, was opened in 2009.

“Capella works with communities and providers to improve health care by expanding access, enhancing services and furthering collaboration between all key constituents,” Wiechart said. “The signing of this LOI, which is a preliminary agreement that allows us to more formally evaluate ways in which we might work together, comes after months of discussion. Our goal is to be able to better meet the healthcare needs of Muskogee and the surrounding communities, as we respond to the call for closer collaboration between providers under healthcare reform. We expect to come to some conclusions in the coming weeks.”

Mark Roberts, President, Muskogee Community Hospital, and Kevin Fowler, Chief Executive Officer of Muskogee Regional Medical Center, issued this joint statement: “We are pleased about the opportunity to explore a possible partnership between our hospitals. Any future collaboration will be designed to continue improving quality and service for the patients and communities we serve.”
