Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare partners with Unified Women’s HealthCare
Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare (MCWHC) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with
Unified Women’s Healthcare (“Unified”), a leading women’s health management service organization. With more than 50 trusted physicians, midwives, and nurse practitioners, MCWHC is the largest single- specialty group of board-certified obstetrics and gynecology physicians in the state of Illinois. The practice offers personalized OB-GYN care from adolescence through menopause at more than a dozen locations throughout the Chicago North and Northwest suburbs.
The strategic alliance was formed with the co-leadership of Midwest Center for Women’s Healthcare’s
President, Dr. Susan Scanlon, a NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner (NCMP) and Fellow of the
American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), and its CEO, Heidi Spears, who holds
a Master of Health Administration. Under the new partnership, Scanlon has been named Unified’s
Medical Director of Illinois and Chair of the Clinical Governance Board and Spears has been named
Unified’s Senior Vice President of Operations in the region.
“Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare’s cornerstone philosophy is to provide exceptional individualized healthcare to women,” Scanlon said. “Our new partnership with Unified offers our organization additional health management resources and a stronger operational backbone, allowing us to further our mission while focusing on our number one concern – our patients.”
“Our strategic alliance with Unified is part of a growing trend among private physician practices who seek greater levels of operational efficiency, thereby freeing up clinicians to best serve patients,” Spears added. “Through this partnership, our organization will now gain access to the largest OB-GYN management services platform in the nation and tap into state-of-the-art fertility and maternity data analysis tools to enable our doctors to make even more informed clinical decisions for our patients.”
Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare (MCWHC) has become Unified’s first affiliated practice in Illinois and has established the company’s presence in the state. With this strategic affiliation, Unified will support obstetrics and gynecology practices across 17 states and the District of Columbia that provide care for more than three million women annually.
"We are thrilled to welcome this skilled physician group to our network of more than 2,600 providers and expand our reach into the Midwest,” said Unified Women’s Healthcare President of OB-GYN, Chris Sueling. “Unified offers private practices the business acumen, resources, and innovation they need to thrive, while enabling clinicians to focus on serving patients and improving outcomes.
“We look forward to working together and advancing our shared vision - for all women to have the best
healthcare in the world.”
