NAPA Anesthesia Expands Its Relationship with Bon Secours at Mary Immaculate Hospital

In an exciting development for healthcare in Virginia, North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA) has announced that it will begin delivering anesthesia services at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital on February 1, 2026. This expansion highlights NAPA's ongoing partnership with the Bon Secours health system, which is committed to providing exceptional healthcare services to the community.

Mary Immaculate Hospital, located at 2 Bernardine Drive, Newport News, VA, is a 123-bed acute care facility known for its patient-centered programs in various medical fields, including orthopedics, obstetrics, and cardiopulmonary care.

A Commitment to Quality and Growth

The introduction of NAPA's anesthesia services is expected to amplify the hospital's capability to innovate and enhance the surgical experience for both patients and surgeons. Alan George, President of Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital, expressed confidence in NAPA’s ability to elevate the standard of care: "NAPA brings tangible capabilities that advance quality and growth. This new anesthesia team will help us innovate safely, enhance patient and surgeon experience, and strengthen our hospital's ability to serve our community."

NAPA, as a leader in single-specialty anesthesia management, has built a reputation for stability and quality, focusing on improving perioperative operations and clinician satisfaction. Their award-winning quality program serves as a keystone for driving improvement and achieving positive patient outcomes.

Focus on Clinician Experience

NAPA's approach involves implementing a care team model that assures a dynamic clinical environment conducive to diverse medical cases. Recognizing the pressing need for work-life balance among healthcare providers, NAPA offers multiple scheduling options tailored to meet the needs of anesthesia professionals. Furthermore, a dedicated 24-hour certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) team will ensure that weekend and call requirements are minimized for the department.

Matt Walsh, MD, NAPA's Clinical Regional Senior Vice President, emphasized the importance of cultivating a strong team: “Our first priority is people and culture. We're building a high-trust, high-performance team at Mary Immaculate, anchored by a strong local chief, supported by regional leadership, and connected to national resources." This model is designed to foster collaboration among surgical services, enhance clinician development, and create a workplace that encourages teams to excel.

Looking Ahead

As NAPA prepares to deploy their services at Mary Immaculate Hospital, they invite qualified anesthesiologists and CRNAs to explore career opportunities at the facility. The integration of their expertise in anesthesia management is anticipated to greatly benefit the hospital's ability to deliver excellent healthcare services to the Newport News community and beyond.
