Unity Medical Center (Unity) and Ascension Saint Thomas marked a milestone in their new strategic alliance this week with a ceremonial lighting of the updated hospital signage at Unity Medical Center. The event symbolizes a new era of collaboration focused on expanding access to advanced, specialty-informed care for Manchester and Coffee County residents.
Launched in June 2025, the alliance brings together the local, personal care that Unity has long been known for with the extensive resources, technology and clinical expertise of Ascension Saint Thomas. It will ensure patients receive high-quality care close to home, supported by seamless pathways to advanced specialty services when needed.
Connected Care Already Transforming the Patient ExperienceAdvertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
Since forming the alliance, patients are already seeing tangible improvements. Providers at Unity now collaborate directly with specialists across the Ascension Saint Thomas network, ensuring patients receive the right level of care at the right time. Integrated medical record sharing streamlines communication and enhances clinical decision-making systemwide.
One of the most transformative advancements is the implementation of 24/7 specialty telemedicine. Patients arriving at Unity with symptoms of stroke, neurologic emergencies or acute cardiac issues are now evaluated immediately by remote specialists who guide onsite clinical teams in real time. This rapid intervention can be lifesaving and helps keep patients in their own community whenever appropriate.
Expanded Heart & Pulmonary Care
Heart care services have strengthened significantly under this alliance. In coordination with the cardiac team at Ascension Saint Thomas, Unity now provides faster cardiac assessments and expanded access to cath lab capabilities. Recruitment of additional cardiologists is underway, and a new provider specializing in cardiology will begin serving the community in February 2026.Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
Pulmonary care is also growing. In the coming weeks, Unity patients with chronic lung diseases such as COPD and asthma will gain round-the-clock access to pulmonary specialists through telemedicine consultations. This support empowers local teams to stabilize patients quickly and reduces the need for transfers outside Coffee County.
Improved Behavioral Health Support
Behavioral health access — a longstanding gap in many rural communities — is being strengthened through expanded telepsychiatry consultations. Patients now benefit from expert evaluations, mental health treatment planning and placement coordination when more intensive care is required. This service ensures vulnerable patients receive timely support and continuity of care.

To further improve patient outcomes, Saint Thomas EMS is providing additional transport support for Unity Medical Center. This ensures that when a patient requires a higher level of care, emergency teams can transport them quickly, safely and with fewer delays — reducing strain on limited local resources.
“These advancements reflect what this partnership is all about — delivering high-quality, specialty-informed care right here in Coffee County,” said Martha Henley, CEO of Unity Medical Center. “By combining Unity’s commitment to local, personal care with the depth of resources offered by Ascension Saint Thomas, we are building a stronger, more connected healthcare system for our community.”
The alliance represents a long-term investment in rural healthcare, designed to keep families close to home while giving them access to more expertise and technology.

Improved Behavioral Health Support
Behavioral health access — a longstanding gap in many rural communities — is being strengthened through expanded telepsychiatry consultations. Patients now benefit from expert evaluations, mental health treatment planning and placement coordination when more intensive care is required. This service ensures vulnerable patients receive timely support and continuity of care.

To further improve patient outcomes, Saint Thomas EMS is providing additional transport support for Unity Medical Center. This ensures that when a patient requires a higher level of care, emergency teams can transport them quickly, safely and with fewer delays — reducing strain on limited local resources.
“These advancements reflect what this partnership is all about — delivering high-quality, specialty-informed care right here in Coffee County,” said Martha Henley, CEO of Unity Medical Center. “By combining Unity’s commitment to local, personal care with the depth of resources offered by Ascension Saint Thomas, we are building a stronger, more connected healthcare system for our community.”
The alliance represents a long-term investment in rural healthcare, designed to keep families close to home while giving them access to more expertise and technology.
