Welcome to Catholic Health Physician Partners
It is an honor to have you join the team.
As part of Catholic Health, we play a central role in achieving the system-wide goal to pair clinical excellence with an unrivaled patient experience.
As providers, we know that clinical excellence begins with coordinated, evidence-based and data-driven care. We know that humanizing the delivery of medicine elevates our clinical expertise in the eyes of our patients.
Enclosed in this packet is information to introduce you to Catholic Health. These materials have been selected by our physicians, for the benefit of our physicians. Examples include:
• An overview of our in-network service offerings. When you align with your colleagues here and utilize services within the network—including Catholic Health hospitals, ambulatory care facilities and home care—you establish a continuum of care designed to promote optimal outcomes for your patients.
• Instructions for gaining access to the Physician Portal, which contains your personalized quality metrics, a list of upcoming CME opportunities, important documents, like managed care forms, and so much more.
• Information about our Practice Unite/Uniphy and Imprivata smart phone apps, which are tools to help you stay connected to your colleagues and up-to-date on important announcements.
In addition, all new physicians participate in our mandatory “New Physician Intro & Welcome Session.” This session is separate from your orientation, providing you operational information and an opportunity to interact with some of your new colleagues.
I trust you will find that we at Catholic Health Physician Partners are a very collegial group. We uphold and foster the highest standards of health care throughout, ever striving to promote effective, efficient care, and improve population health so that your patients can live healthier, more productive lives.
We are honored that you have chosen us as your partner. We look forward to a positive working relationship and continued engagement.
Sincerely,
Avni Thakore, MD, FACC President, Catholic Health Physician Partners

As a first step, we are enclosing information to introduce you to Catholic Health. These materials have been selected by our physicians, for the benefit of our physicians. Examples include:
