Foresight Hospital and Health Systems is an American healthcare operator and service provider.[1] Founded in Illinois, Foresight Hospital and Health Systems provides health care services to underserved rural and urban communities, while changing the landscape of health care service delivery and accessibility.[2][3]

In early 2022, CEO and founder, Sameer Suhail, opened Foresight Hospital and Health Systems in Stuart, Virginia in response to a need for healthcare services.[4]

History

[edit]

Patrick County residents have been without local emergency medical care since September 2017.[5] The Patrick County Hospital, closed in 2017 after filing for bankruptcy in 2016, leaving the county without a hospital.[2] In 2022, in response to a great need for healthcare services in Roanoke County, the founder, Sameer Suhail decided to acquire and build a new hospital.[2]

Chicago-based company named Foresight HS Property Holdings – Blue Ridge, LLC bought the property in April 2022.[1] The deed to the property was previously held by Patrick County Real Estate, LLC. A spokesperson for Chicago-based Foresight HS Property Holdings – Blue Ridge, LLC confirmed that a purchase agreement for the vacant hospital campus is in place and that "Foresight has plans to move forward with a new healthcare facility".[1]

Services

[edit]

Foresight Hospital and Health Systems provides medical billing, coding and collections services, oversight of outpatient pharmacy operations, and aid with the procurement of medical equipment and supplies.[6] The healthcare operator also has an extensive and expanding behavioral health division, which manages and will soon own inpatient and outpatient psychiatric service lines.[7][8]
