Advocate Partnerships for Statewide Pediatric Care

Mike Farrell, President, and Frank Belmonte, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Advocate Children’s Hospital.  High quality pediatric care starts with sufficient volumes and breadth of services. In a contracting pediatric market, how do you continue to gain market share and augment services that you can provide to this population? Nontraditional partnerships become essential to consolidating the market and developing a system of pediatric care across a wide geography. Mike and Dr. Belmonte will speak to the way that they are transforming the Chicagoland pediatric market by bringing former competitors together and creating a common culture of care centered around the child.
