Renaissance Health System of Florida, Inc. announced that it has formally accepted and treated its first health plan members during the month of September. The announcement was made at a hospitality reception held at the Florida Medical Association Medical Expo at the Boca Raton Resort on September 1, 2005. Physicians who are affiliated with Renaissance were formally invited to celebrate at a reception featuring Spanish Tapas and cocktails in the Governors Suite of the Resort.
Noel J. Guillama, President of Renaissance Health System of Florida, Inc. commented, “We are all very pleased that we have progressed from our organizational stage to our current operational stage. We can now put to full use the substantial investments we have made in developing our Community Health Systems (CHS) in strategic counties along the east coast of Florida.” He further added, “We are very close to opening up the second and third CHSs and will correspondingly begin coordinating the care for Medicare Advantage patients in those areas. Additionally, we continue our development efforts in other strategic areas of Florida, as we continue to attract physicians to build the highest quality networks. We are very optimistic that in the coming months we will be providing care to thousands of new patients. Quality is at the foundation of the Community Health Systems we have built, and is the essence of the revolution we have instigated.” The Company has launched its “Are you part of the Revolution” campaign aimed at increasing name recognition and raising awareness of the opportunity for Physicians to become part of the Renaissance network. The campaign reveals that Renaissance is “ushering in a new era in healthcare” through its network of highly skilled Providers. The Company revealed that its highly experienced team of Provider Specialists led by Barbara A. Roqueta, Vice President of Provider Operations for RHS, has made a significant impact on the Providers. “We bring a personal customer-centric approach to our Providers. We recognize the highly demanding schedules they maintain. Our CHS model enables the Physician to be more productive, and therefore more profitable which is a win-win situation for all involved.”
