The Affordable Care Act also passed the same year leading to huge changes in the healthcare industry. "This called for a major transformation in the way we deliver care and the way we get paid. Many collea- gues complained about how difficult it was going to be. I decided it was bet- ter to embrace the reform and adapt. Now we are one of the strongest safety net hospitals in Chicago." After building a cohe- sive management team, Sánchez focused the hos- pital on delivering high quality primary care to the community. He also ini- tiated partnerships with Swedish Covenant Hos- pital and several clinics to create an Accountable Care Organization. He created MyCa- re Chicago, a Medicaid Accountable Care entity, and Be Well, an entity to coordinate care for indivi- duals with mental health issues. More recently, he initiated a partnership to develop post- acute care via a new hospital home health agency, positio- ning Norwegian as a leader in new care coordination efforts. "I believe everything you do in life is timing," declares Puerto Rico nati- ve José Sánchez. Prior to moving to Chi- cago, Sánchez spent fif- teen years at the New York City Health and Hos- pitals Corporation. In his role, he was responsi- ble for integrating three hospitals and 34 clinics, from three very different communities in terms of ethnicity and culture, into a single large healthcare system. After Sánchez suc- cessfully accomplished the mergers, he moved to Norwegian American Hospital to take on a cru- cial challenge. In 2010, the 200-bed "safety net" hospital with 83% of its patients reliant on Medicaid or Medica- re, was on the verge of bankruptcy.
