Phoenix-based The CORE Institute signed a partnership agreement with providers at the Sun City-based Arizona Neurological Institute, effective Oct. 1.
Details of the new partnership are still being finalized, but it has been decided that The CORE Institute will formally employ Arizona Neurological Institute physicians and staff. The Arizona Neurological Institute currently has nine Phoenix area locations; however, it is unclear if any of the locations will be merged with The CORE Institute's 12 facilities.
"We're thrilled to partner with the talented team at the Arizona Neurological Institute to expand and enhance the specialties that we can offer to our patients," said David J. Jacofsky, MD, chairman and CEO of The CORE Institute. "The CORE Institute is very proud to have grown into the largest orthopedic practice in Arizona and this partnership allows us to also become the largest comprehensive neuroscience practice providing accessible outpatient and inpatient neurological, physical and rehabilitative medicine services."
