“We’re proud to expand our partnership with Mercy Health, as they have been an outstanding partner for many years,” said Dr. Michael Cetta, Chief of Integrated Acute Care Services at USACS. “The USACS IAC program continues to grow as the model of choice for hospitals interested in enhancing quality and patient satisfaction.”
As the area’s only full-service hospital, Springfield Regional Medical Center has served the Clark County community for more than 100 years and offers health services from maternal medicine to palliative care. Urbana Hospital serves Urbana and Champaign County, and is a proud partner of Telestroke with The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center.

The USACS model of Integrated Acute Care builds on the USACS commitment to physician ownership by creating a single, accountable team of physician leaders responsible for improvement of patient care throughout the patient's stay, from entrance into the emergency department until discharge, and beyond. The model has led to improvements in key quality metrics, particularly those related to patient experience.
