Health systems
Extend outpatient access with an experienced operator.
HHS partners with hospitals and health systems to expand access, fill service gaps, and build outpatient infrastructure that keeps patients in your network.
Challenges
Outpatient gaps that strain systems
Outpatient access gaps
Patients unable to access timely outpatient care default to your ED — increasing cost, reducing satisfaction, and straining capacity.
Independent practice atrophy
As independent physicians retire or sell to competitors, your referral network erodes. HHS helps stabilize independent practices in your market.
Service line gaps
Occupational health, urgent care, and mental health are high-demand service lines that many health systems struggle to operate efficiently at the community level.
Geographic reach
Serving rural or suburban populations requires a distributed care delivery model that most health systems aren’t built to manage directly.
How HHS helps
Partnership models that fit your market
Urgent care network development
HHS can develop and operate urgent care locations under a joint venture or management agreement — extending your brand without your capital.
Occupational health programs
Industrial MD’s Medical Direction program and HHS’s occupational health capabilities can be deployed to serve employer populations in your market.
Independent practice support
HHS can provide MSO services to independent practices in your market who want to remain independent but stay aligned with your health system.
Behavioral health access
MindVibe and HHS behavioral health infrastructure help health systems address community access gaps without building every capability from scratch.
In practice
Community access without ownership overhead
The shift toward outpatient and community-based care delivery is accelerating — driven by payer incentives, patient preferences, and the economics of keeping patients out of higher-cost settings. Health systems feel that pressure first in the ED, then in network leakage, then in specialty access delays.
HHS gives systems a way to extend outpatient coverage without absorbing every operational burden of direct ownership. We develop and operate community locations, support aligned independent practices, and bring specialty capabilities — including occupational health and behavioral health — into markets that need them.
Partnership structures range from referral alignment to formal joint ventures. The common thread is accountability: an operator who can stand up the infrastructure, staff the model, and keep patients connected to your network and brand.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is HHS a competitor to health systems?
No. HHS operates in the independent practice segment and actively seeks alignment with health systems through referral relationships, joint ventures, and management agreements.
What does a typical health system partnership look like?
It varies — from informal referral relationships to formal joint venture structures. We start with a conversation about your market gaps and work backward to a structure that makes sense.
Do you operate in rural markets?
Yes. Industrial MD’s remote Medical Direction program and HHS’s telehealth capabilities make us an effective partner in markets where physical presence isn’t always possible.
