The hospital is a publicly owned facility, while Centura is a 15-hospital system jointly sponsored by Englewood-based Catholic Health Initiatives and Adventist Health System in Altamonte Springs, Fla.
Leadership from St. Catherine Hospital, a Centura facility in Garden City, Kan., will work with Stanton County on taming costs related to its capital expenditures and supply chain, among other expenses, according to a news release. Physicians from both organizations are expected to share clinical best practices. Stanton is licensed for 18 acute-care beds and has 25 long-term-care beds, according to its website.
