NAPA expands Bon Secours anesthesia relationship via Mary Immaculate Hospital deal

North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), which describes itself as the country’s “leading single-specialty anesthesia management company,” will provide anesthesia services at 123-bed acute care facility Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital of Newport News, Va., starting on Feb. 1, 2026.

“NAPA brings tangible capabilities that advance quality and growth,” said Alan George, president of Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital. “This new anesthesia team will help us innovate safely, enhance patient and surgeon experience, and strengthen our hospital’s ability to serve our community.”

NAPA, which says the move strengthens its existing ties with the Bon Secours system, will employ a care team model in what it calls “a diverse clinical environment with a broad case mix” at Mary Immaculate, with multiple schedule options available to “support the work-life balance of the anesthesia clinicians.” It adds that a dedicated team of 24-hour certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) will minimize call and weekend requirements for the department.

Matt Walsh, MD, NAPA’s clinical regional senior vice president, says his organization’s top priority is “people and culture.”

“We’re building a high-trust, high-performance team at Mary Immaculate, anchored by a strong local chief, supported by regional leadership, and connected to national resources,” he says. “That integrated model develops clinicians, encourages surgical services collaboration, and creates a workplace where teams can be their best."

Clinician-led NAPA says it employs nearly 5,000 clinicians who serve more than two million patients annually at nearly 400 healthcare facilities in 23 states.
