Next Steps:

  • The clinic’s website and social media channels will remain active for approximately two months as we begin integrating the content to CHI St. Vincent’s channels
  • LRDC will continue to use NEXTGEN as their EMR.

We believe the addition of LRDC will enable CHI St. Vincent to better serve the patients in the communities  by providing an overall greater value and more seamless patient experience.  Additional benefits include:

  • Enhancing our clinical operations, quality and safety by sharing and adopting best practices
  • Improving our financial performance through shared resources, contracts and vendors
