American Academic Health System

American Academic Health System is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the great traditions of America’s academic medical centers and teaching hospitals. Working collaboratively, we take a strong, disciplined approach to operations in order to build the stable foundation needed to support these exemplary traditions and let our hospitals focus on doing what they do best – developing and delivering advanced care. We are proud to offer the kind of highly specialized care and advanced diagnostic technology that is not available at a community hospital. At the same time, we recognize the critical role that our referring physicians play in the long-term care of their patients. We believe the right place for patients with complex conditions to receive continuing care after they have been treated in an academic setting is back home in their community – with the physicians they know and trust. We partner with proven community-based organizations to address underlying social determinants of health such as behavioral health issues, lack of access to quality healthcare services, environmental disparities, food scarcity, and trauma. To address these issues, we integrate community organizations, religious institutions and social services agencies into our care network to create an enhanced patient-focused healthcare delivery system.
