Bay Area Medical Center joining Common Ground Healthcare’s Envision network

BROOKFIELD, WIS (December 9, 2014) – Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative (CGHC) and Bay Area Medical Center (BAMC) have announced a partnership that will bring the 99-bed hospital, its employed physicians and affiliated services in-network for CGHC’s “Envision” members.

The Envision network is CGHC’s high-value, integrated care network associated with some of the most affordable individual and small group insurance products on the Wisconsin market today. The integrated care model not only delivers significant cost savings to CGHC members, but it is also heavily focused on quality and safety as Envision network providers work toward interoperable electronic medical records to promote care coordination between different health care professionals.

“The Envision integrated care network is focused on the things that matter most to our members, including care delivery and communication improvements that our members can feel,” said CGHC CEO Cathy Mahaffey. “BAMC’s longstanding practice of surveying their patients and holding themselves accountable for patient satisfaction and education is exactly the kind of partner we need to improve the health care experience for our members.”

With the addition of BAMC, CGHC’s Envision network now includes16 hospitals, 185 clinic sites and includes 2,400 physicians and specialists. The network is available to residents of 19 Eastern Wisconsin counties.
