Our Partners

When the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, our industry was faced with many challenges. Our Ascent Healthcare providers immediately jumped into the trenches with us to prevent the spread of this deadly disease in our community. Over the past year, we were continuously barraged with information and guidance from multiple state and federal agencies. Ascent’s providers worked side by side with us to interpret the data and keep our team informed with the most recent updates and current best practices during this very difficult time.   With the help of Ascent Healthcare, we were able to manage our population with no major outbreaks until the day that we were able to get our first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020. On vaccination day, three Ascent providers volunteered to be on hand for the staff and residents to answer questions regarding the vaccine and help people overcome some of the hesitancy they were experiencing. With Ascent’s help, we were able to vaccinate approximately 70% of the staff, which is almost double the national average, and 95% of the residents.

I have partnered with Ascent Healthcare’s physicians and nurse practitioners for the last 4 years. This has been my second facility where I have had the privilege of working with this group. I have been impressed by their dedication, kindness, caring, and outstanding service. I have been in the medical field for over 45 years and I am impressed at the expertise Ascent Healthcare provides to my residents. I would highly recommend their services. My residents adore their physician, and this is the highest praise any physician can obtain from their patients.

"It is a privilege to be part of a team that takes care of vulnerable patients in a nursing home and ensures continuity of care for their residents. As a healthcare provider, I find it very motivating and challenging to treat patients with both acute and chronic problems. Working for Ascent Healthcare, I get to partner with a team of nursing staff and therapists to provide complex care to my patients. Ascent Healthcare is well organized and very up to date with the changing landscape of medicine in nursing facilities."

"I’ve always been drawn to geriatric medicine. I value being a part of a team providing care and compassion to patients and families as they transition to their next stage, whether that is recovering to go back home, moving on to a facility with a higher level of care, or end of life."

Our Ascent Healthcare Medical Director has gained the respect of our facility staff by being present, sharing knowledge and being available to answer questions. During a COVID Educational Session our Medical Director did an excellent job of not only answering questions but giving an explanation that was easy to understand of how the COVID vaccine works. Staff that attended the meeting stated that the meeting was very helpful and many staff that were afraid to get the vaccine received the vaccine.
