AdventHealth South Overland Park Selects Anesthesia Associates of Kansas City as Partners for Anesthesia Coverage

AdventHealth South Overland Park announced the transition of its anesthesia coverage to Anesthesia Associates of Kansas City, effective July 1. This transition aims to support the rapid growth of AdventHealth South Overland Park, which recently saw the expansion of its Birth Center and the 5^th floor Intensive Care and Progressive Care Units and was recently named a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission, American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.

“We are honored to partner with AdventHealth South Overland Park, an organization whose commitment to whole person care reflects the same values that guide our work every day,” said Ryan Grindstaff, MD, PhD, MBA, president of Anesthesia Associates of Kansas City. “At the heart of our mission is a dedication to delivering the highest level of clinical care to our patients and unparalleled service to our healthcare partners. This partnership marks the beginning of a meaningful journey. One built on mutual respect, a shared purpose, and a commitment to growing together in service to our communities."

Across the nation, Anesthesia providers have tremendous challenges matching staffing needs due to limited resources and rapidly accelerating costs. To ensure AdventHealth South Overland Park’s campus had the resources and capacity to scale its service lines, Anesthesia Associates of Kansas City was chosen because of their mission to provide quality medical care with an emphasis on preoperative care, anesthesia, pain management, critical care, administrative and medical consulting services alongside their principles of service and professional excellence, group focus, involvement and satisfaction.

“We believe Anesthesia Associates of Kansas City will be able to provide our patients the high-quality care we are known for at AdventHealth and expand with us as we continue to grow in the coming years,” said Dallas Purkeypile, president and chief executive officer for AdventHealth South Overland Park.
