LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH PARTNERS Improving Quality of Life with LifeBridge Health Partners “Because the future of health care is growing far beyond the walls of the traditional hospital setting, LifeBridge Health has chosen to partner with other health-related service companies throughout the region, allowing us to increase our services, expand our footprint and offer a truly comprehensive continuum of care for the populations we serve. Understanding that our partners are experts in their individual fields, LifeBridge Health provides resources and support to our partners without interfering with the practices that have made them successful. Again, aligned autonomy – promoting independence and entrepreneurship while providing excellent service and care – is a key difference in LifeBridge Health’s partnership philosophies.” – David Krajewski LifeBridge Health Partners President Chief Financial Officer of LifeBridge Health For more information, visit lifebridgehealth.org/businesspartners Table of Contents Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2 Occupational Health 12 Billing and Coding Services 3 Pharmaceutical and Medical Supplies 12 Digestive Disease Center 3 Outpatient Pharmacy Services 13 Durable Medical Equipment 4 Outreach Labs 14 Eye Care & Optical Shops 5 Physical Therapy 15-16 Health & Fitness 6 Radiology 17 Home Infusion 7 Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing 18-19 Homecare 8 Urgent Care 20-21 Hospice Care 9 Sleep Centers 22 Independent & Assisted Living, Memory Care 10 The Shops at LifeBridge Health 23 Kidney Care 11 Index 25 Medical Transportation 11 AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS LifeBridge Health’s ambulatory surgery facilities provide same-day surgical care, including diagnostic and preventive procedures Our centers only treat patients who have already seen a health care provider and selected surgery as the appropriate treatment for their condition With a strong track record of quality care and positive patient outcomes, our centers provide our patients with a convenient alternative to hospital-based outpatient procedures ELLICOTT CITY AMBULATORY THE SURGERY CENTER OF BALTIMORE A LifeBridge Health Partner The Ellicott City Ambulatory Surgery Center combines a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with The SurgiCenter of Baltimore’s mission is to provide the latest technology.
