Presently, The Physician Network comprises more than 50 primary, specialty and urgent care practice sites throughout Nebraska and is a wholly owned subsidiary corporation of Catholic Health Initiatives, the nation’s third-largest Catholic health-care system. The new office in the Assurity Center will be ready for occupancy in February 2012.
Assurity began construction on the $53 million project in September 2009 and employees were able to move in early December 2011. “We’re thrilled to have The Physician Network as a tenant in the Assurity Center,” said Bill Schmeeckle, Assurity’s vice president, chief investment officer. “They are a high quality organization and a perfect fit for the Assurity Center profile.”
