Following are just a few examples of the many partnerships Allina Health EMS <br />has entered into with other organizations. <br />HUTCHINSON HEALTH <br />Allina Health EMS, in cooperation with our parent company, Allina Health, works <br />with Hutchinson-based Hutchinson Health, one of the largest independent health care <br />providers in Minnesota, to provide services the organization might otherwise struggle <br />to provide on its own. Such services include around-the-clock ambulance service, <br />hospice services and an after-hours pharmacy team. <br />The partnership started with a management-level collaboration, which allowed <br />Hutchinson management to use and adapt Allina Health’s organizational policies and <br />procedures. From there, we created a number of other clinical partnerships, and in <br />2011, after a detailed assessment of Hutchinson Health’s in-house ambulance service, <br />Allina Health EMS assumed responsibility for all of the hospital’s ambulance transports. <br />“Since Allina Health EMS took over the ambulance service, it <br />has provided a great resource in terms of training, staffing and <br />equipment at a level that was a challenge for us because we don’t <br />have the economies of scale they are able to achieve,” says Steven <br />Mulder, MD, president and CEO of Hutchinson Health. <br />We have since built on our Hutchinson collaboration to extend <br />services farther south to Glencoe and St. Peter. <br />Our many partnerships with other <br />health care and public safety agencies <br />are founded on mutual respect and a <br />commitment to collaboration. <br />Allina Health EMS has fostered a close partner relationship <br />with Bloomington Fire and its chief, Ulie Seal. <br />8 9 Allina Health EMS Community Report
