NAPA Anesthesia to Support Brooks-TLC Hospital's Growth

In a significant move to bolster patient care and operational excellence, North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA) is set to begin providing anesthesia services at Brooks-TLC Hospital, a key healthcare provider in Dunkirk, New York, starting in July 2026. NAPA, recognized as the nation's leading single-specialty anesthesia management company, aims to enhance the hospital's clinical performance during its transition to a newly constructed facility.

The Vision for Modern Healthcare

Brooks-TLC Hospital, located at 529 Central Ave., is an acute care community hospital that serves the Lake Erie region. With plans for a modernized facility on the horizon, hospital officials are focusing on finding an anesthesia partner who can not only deliver exceptional clinical performance but also contribute to long-term surgical success. Kenneth R. Morris, MBA, President and CEO of Brooks-TLC Hospital, emphasized the importance of choosing NAPA, stating, "Our goal is to build an anesthesia program that is clinically strong and operationally sound."

The partnership aims to align quality, culture, and analytics, reinforcing efficiency and improving the hospital's financial health. By leveraging NAPA's extensive experience, Brooks-TLC can ensure high-quality care for its patients as it prepares for its future.

A Foundation for Success

NAPA's well-established quality program, along with its expertise in anesthesia-specific revenue cycle management, will be essential in supporting clinical excellence from day one. The infusion of NAPA's multilayered clinician-led leadership structure will allow Brooks-TLC Hospital to benefit from on-site anesthesia chiefs who have access to broader NAPA resources, enabling real-time decision-making and improvements in care processes.

Dr. Jay Lee, MD, MBA, Senior Vice President of Clinical Services for NAPA's Northeast Region, noted the complexities of successful anesthesia programs, stating, "They require alignment across leadership, data, and operations. At Brooks Memorial, we're delivering an anesthesia care model that streamlines operations while upholding the highest quality of patient care."

Building a Care Team

The collaborative effort between NAPA and Brooks-TLC Hospital extends to the recruitment of qualified anesthesiologists and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). NAPA is actively seeking professionals who are passionate about their roles in improving patient safety and overall clinical engagement. This expansion marks an exciting growth opportunity for anesthesia clinicians interested in contributing to a progressive healthcare environment.
