Английская Википедия:Ballad Health
Шаблон:Infobox company Шаблон:Short description Ballad Health is a chain of hospitals headquartered in Johnson City, Tennessee.[1] It includes facilities in Tennessee, and Virginia. Some of its locations are also Urgent care centers and Primary care locations. [2] They also operate a blood bank named Marsh Regional Blood Center. [3]
The healthcare system's website states that its service area includes 29 counties, some of which are in Kentucky and North Carolina.[4]
History
Ballad Health was created in 2018 when Mountain States Health Alliance and Wellmont Health Systems agreed to merge together through the issuance of a certificate of public advantage (COPA) in Tennessee and a similar document known as a cooperative agreement in Virginia.
Ballad Health is a new health system, created specifically to address the most critical healthcare needs of communities in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. This new kind of healthcare organization is made possible through state oversight and was created with the support of local business community, physicians, educators and countless other people who have a stake in improving the health of the Southern Appalachia region.
Lee County Community Hospital, which had closed in 2013, was reopened by Ballad Health in July 2021. [5]
Dennis Barry, who consulted for the Southwest Virginia Health Authority as a monitor, stated that the Ballad merger meant that healthcare access in portions of Virginia did not collapse during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
In 2022, they started a virtual urgent care option.[7]
In August, 2023, they posted their first net operating loss for the fiscal year 2023 with a loss of 40 million dollars. [8]
