Temple Health – Temple University Health System’s Post

In one or more areas of care, 37 Kaiser Permanente hospitals are “high performing.” High performers are among the top 10% to 20% of all hospitals rated. While many health systems across the United States operate under financial strain(s), Kaiser Permanente continues to prove that by fully integrating health systems and services with the financing of healthcare together with common vision and goals, provides the best possible outcomes for both patients and the healthcare system.

Where you seek medical care matters...

Privileged to work at an institution where excellence is the standard.

The hospital of the future? It might just disappear. Picture this: No more sterile waiting rooms. No exhausting trips for vulnerable patients. Instead, a seamless integration of high-tech care, environmental health, and nutrition – all accessible from wherever you call home. At NLC, we are fortunate to work alongside some of the brightest minds in healthcare innovation. One of those minds belongs to Dr. Fenna Heyning, who has just published a thought-provoking book on the future of hospitals, The Disappearance. Drawing from her wealth of experience as an internist and hospital leader, Fenna takes us on a journey through the evolution of hospitals—from long-term patient “guesthouses” to the modern-day technological fortresses we see today. She dares to ask: What if we tore down those concrete walls entirely? Fenna argues for a healthcare system that transcends the traditional boundaries, integrating high-complex healthcare with public health, environmental sciences, and nutrition. Her message is clear: to truly care for future generations, we need to adopt a more holistic perspective, breaking down the silos that have fragmented our approach to health. Dr. Fenna Heyning's book, The Disappearance, challenges us to reimagine healthcare from the ground up. At NLC, we are incredibly proud to have Fenna Heyning as part of our team. Her work as Lead Clinical Expertise bridges the gap between clinical practice and innovation, ensuring that the best of science reaches patients. And with her new book, she is pushing the conversation even further—inviting us all to rethink what healthcare could and should be. A sweet reminder that the future of healthcare is not just about technology or treatment—it’s about reimagining the very foundation of how we care for ourselves and each other.

As a Critical Access Hospital, we are required to complete an annual review to be compliant with federal regulations and conditions of participation. More importantly, as a local hospital, it's important to us that we are transparent with our community and share information about our successes and opportunities for improvement. That's why we're making our Critical Access Hospital Annual Report public and why we're sharing it with you. This report includes information about our service volume, type of service, trends, concerns, accomplishments, and more. This report is used by our Leadership Team and Board of Trustees to develop action plans, identify opportunities for improvement, and recognize our successes.

I’ve always thought that the “great consolidation” amongst health systems will lead to large regional Kaiser-esque models, where the payors, clinicians, and facilities are integrated. What’s really interesting about Jaewon Ryu’s statement below is he says Geisinger is the “first inaugural member.” That makes me think Risant Health isn’t done, it wasn’t just a singular acquisition, but will be the first of many other “member” organizations that will lead to a huge conglomerate across the nation. What do you think? Am I reading into this too much? Or will Risant rival HCA + UHC in its ability to gain market share through vertical integration of clinical and health plan assets?
