We Are AVEM Health Partners
Rural Healthcare Innovation
More than a Hospital Management Company
AVEM Health Partners assist critical access hospitals to thrive by:
- Strengthening the Provider Team
- Expanding Clinical Services and Training
- Financing Capital Improvements
- Updating all IT Services and Cyber Security monitoring
AVEM can provide all staffing requirements for a hospital, assume the responsibilities for payroll, and expand employee benefits due to our financial strength and economy of scale.
The AVEM Team helps hospitals hire and retain high quality doctors, nurses and other professionals.
AVEM has been managing hospitals and providing these services to Rural America for 16 years. AVEM has been audited each year by an independent, third-party Audit Firm, and the Auditors have never had an exception to our financials.
The AVEM model provides these services without the community drawing on local tax dollars, enabling rural communities to keep their hospital and to expand job opportunities in the area, resulting in a quality of life that rural communities can depend upon.
