National Jewish Health, the leading respiratory hospital in the nation, and Siemens Healthineers, a global medical technology leader, have extended their existing strategic relationship to form a Value Partnership. The agreement will set the foundation for future initiatives together to advance the care of patients with respiratory, cardiovascular, immune and related diseases.
National Jewish Health and Siemens Healthineers have worked together over the past two decades on strategic initiatives developing novel imaging and diagnostic technologies that have advanced precision medicine. Past collaborations have resulted in improvements in the diagnosis of respiratory, cardiology and rheumatologic diseases.
“National Jewish Health has long worked with Siemens for technology to help ensure that our patients, faculty and researchers have access to the best and latest imaging and diagnostic technologies available. We are excited to now be announcing this expanded agreement with Siemens Healthineers,” said Michael Salem, MD, president and CEO of National Jewish Health. “We are at the forefront of respiratory, cardiac and immune disease research and care for children and adults, and we look forward to working together on new joint research projects that advance medicine.”
The agreement is part of a comprehensive strategy that establishes a close relationship between the two organizations facilitating collaboration, integration and innovation, that in turn, will advance leading-edge health care initiatives. The Value Partnership aligns with the National Jewish Health core technology strategy and aims to develop technology management plans that leverage the strengths and technology expertise of Siemens Healthineers particularly for imaging, diagnostic testing, analytics, clinical workflows and staffing support programs.
“Long-term relationships such as this Value Partnership are key to fostering innovation to improve patient care,” said David Pacitti, president and head of the Americas at Siemens Healthineers. “We greatly appreciate the trust and confidence National Jewish Health has shown in us as a partner and are excited about what we can accomplish together.”
