Renaissance Health System of Florida, Inc. has developed a new model for the benefit of patients, providers and insurers alike -- the Community Health System or CHS. In a CHS, the patient is recognized as a true consumer of healthcare services. Patients are engaged to actively work along side their physician in pursuit of their improved healthcare lifestyle. This tandem approach to a patient's health benefits the insurer, the physician and most importantly, the patient as it emphasizes a proactive approach to wellness. The mission of Renaissance Health Systems (RHS) is to provide quality, proactive and cost-effective healthcare to our patients while simultaneously improving their quality of life and lifestyle.
