Charlottesville, VA - US Acute Care Solutions (USACS) and Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital today announced a new partnership for USACS to provide emergency services to Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia. USACS officially began providing management and staffing for the emergency department there on December 1st.
The new partnership includes two locations: Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital’s main emergency department, which sees approximately 34,000 patients per year, and its nearby freestanding emergency department at the Sentara Martha Jefferson Outpatient Care Center at Proffit Road, which sees approximately 17,000 patients per year. The new locations are USACS' first in Virginia and are part of its commitment to developing deep relationships with quality health organizations like Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital.
