YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio: Cleveland Clinic has acquired the Practice of Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates (“YOA”). As part of that acquisition, the YOA physicians and advanced practice providers will join the medical staff at Cleveland Clinic.
In addition, Cleveland Clinic, in partnership with Regent Surgical and local physician shareholders, will expand access to comprehensive musculoskeletal care for patients in the Mahoning Valley with the addition of The Orthopaedic Surgery Center of Youngstown. The venture maintains YOA’s clinic visits, imaging, therapy and outpatient surgery in one coordinated network now part of Cleveland Clinic, so patients can move from diagnosis through recovery without leaving the community.
YOA provides general and subspecialty orthopaedic care across three outpatient locations in Boardman, Poland and Warren. Its services include orthopaedic surgery, joint reconstruction, sports medicine, hand and upper-extremity care, podiatry, pain management, physical and occupational therapy, diagnostic imaging and orthopaedic express care.
The practice includes six orthopaedic physicians, a pain medicine physician, two podiatrists and 12 advanced practice providers, supported by more than 100 full- and part-time staff members.
“Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates has a long history of providing high-quality care to patients throughout the Mahoning Valley,” said Thomas E. Mroz, M.D., Enterprise Chair, Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Cleveland Clinic. “By bringing our teams together, we can expand access to coordinated musculoskeletal care, helping patients receive the right care at the right time, close to home, while also connecting them to the full breadth of Cleveland Clinic’s orthopaedic expertise.”
Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates currently provides care at three locations:
The locations offer a range of clinical capabilities. The Poland outpatient facility includes 30 exam rooms, three X-ray rooms and dedicated physical and occupational therapy space. The Boardman facility includes MRI and X-ray imaging and orthopaedic express care. The Warren location includes 12 exam rooms, X-ray capabilities and physical and occupational therapy space.
The Poland location includes a 12,700-square-foot ambulatory surgery center (ASC) with three operating rooms and one procedure room. The surgery center will operate as a joint venture among Cleveland Clinic, Regent and physician partners, building on Cleveland Clinic and Regent's existing partnership, to expand access to high-quality ambulatory surgical care. Regent will oversee the center's operations, leveraging its expertise in ASC management, clinical quality, operational efficiency and patient experience.
“Our partnership with Cleveland Clinic is built on a shared commitment to making high-quality surgical care more accessible and affordable,” said Travis Messina, Regent CEO. “Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates has earned the trust of this community over many years. We're excited to build on that foundation by bringing Regent's operational expertise together with Cleveland Clinic's clinical leadership and the physicians' longstanding commitment to their patients.”
The practice currently operates its three outpatient locations Monday through Friday. Its Boardman orthopaedic express care also provides weekday and Saturday hours, offering another access point for patients with acute orthopaedic injuries and conditions.
"Our physicians and staff have built Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates and The Orthopaedic Surgery Center around a shared commitment to exceptional care and lasting relationships with our patients. We are proud of that legacy and see this partnership with Cleveland Clinic and Regent as an opportunity to build upon it," said Thomas A. Joseph, M.D., President of YOA. "Together, we can bring additional world-class expertise and resources to the Mahoning Valley while preserving the personal attention and commitment to our community that have always defined our care."
The partnership began November 1st. TOSC began operations under Regent's management on November 9, with Cleveland Clinic's outpatient practice operations beginning November 17.
