In July of 2015, Ningxia Guolong Medical Development Group LTD., and PreferUS Healthcare entered into an equity partnership that has significantly expanded the capabilities of each partner. The partnership represents all three components of our product / service line offerings: consulting, management, and investment services. When PreferUS began its partnership with the Guolong Hospital Group, the Guolong consisted of two previous Yinchuan Hospitals and a hospital in Shanghai.
PreferUS has participated in the vision of Guolong's new 600-bed international standards hospital in Yinchuan. Through our strong relationship with Guolong, we have been included in the site selection, analyzing & selecting the architect firm, and contributing on the design input. In April of 2019, the new hospital officially opened and will serve not only the surrounding Yinchuan communities, but will be a destination for patients beyond the borders of China.
The PreferUS U.S. Immersion Program began with a group of nurses and administrators who visited the Oklahoma Heart Hospital. As of 2020, PreferUS has delivered U.S. based training for nearly 60 of the new hospital staff including doctors, nurses, and administrators. Additionally, within the new hospital, we have been focused on elevating professional nursing to transform healthcare delivery. We have successfully implemented many U.S. best-practices to improve the quality and safety of the patient population. The training has been instrumental in transforming care at the bedside and enhancing patient satisfaction as well as staff engagement and satisfaction.
