“To put Blue Cross in the best position to grow, we knew we needed to move away from the days of having one exclusive hospital contract,” said Andrew Corbin, the Blue Cross president and CEO.
“Our focus on spine and orthopedic services allows for better patient outcomes, faster recovery time and decreased length of stay,” said Thomas Schmitt, CEO of 38-bed Kansas Spine Hospital.
In Dec. 2009, the insurer added 82-bed Galichia Heart Hospital, also in Wichita, to its network.
