What impact does a thriving clinician have on patient care? The ripple effect is extraordinary.
When clinicians find joy and meaning in their work, it doesn't just transform their own well-being—it improves patient outcomes, strengthens teams, and elevates entire health care systems.
Dr. Bentley C. Tate explores this profound connection in our latest blog, unveiling practical strategies to cultivate clinician wellness and enhance care quality.
Discover how fostering joy in medicine can lead to better results for everyone—patients, families, clinicians, and organizations alike.
Your professional network is just as important as your clinical skills.
While most social media platforms are great for staying connected with friends and family, dedicated physician social networks offer something more valuable for your career: peer-to-peer medical expertise, real-time case consultations, and professional development opportunities designed specifically for health care professionals.
Your time is precious. Make sure your professional networking is working as hard as you are.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to attend the American Medical Association’s Joy in Medicine® reception and to be surrounded by leaders dedicated to clinician well-being.

Did you know that early recognition and treatment of sepsis can save lives? Sepsis is a medical emergency that requires quick action to protect patients and improve outcomes.
This month, we’re joining health care professionals worldwide to raise awareness about sepsis and its impact. Together, we can ensure timely diagnosis and care to make a real difference.

Every day, our emergency physicians see patients in crisis – and they also see the gaps in our health care system that make their jobs harder and patient care more challenging.
That's why we were so inspired when Dr. Ryan Misek recently shared his Washington DC advocacy experience on our recent Health Care Awareness Call. He shared about spending 36 hours meeting with senators and congressional staff, sharing real stories from the emergency department and advocating for policies that support both patients and health care workers.
The most powerful part? Politicians wanted to hear directly from him – a frontline doctor who sees the impact of health care policy every single day. They didn't want to talk to lobbyists; they wanted to hear from the people actually taking care of their constituents.
Our clinicians are more than health care providers – they're advocates for their patients and communities. When we speak up, we're fighting for better care for everyone.

"Being around passionate emergency physicians who really care – that's what re-energizes me. The networking, the innovations, the shared commitment to our specialty."
There's something inspiring about people who've dedicated their careers to being there in life's most critical moments. When they come together, that shared passion creates an energy that's truly special.

There's something special about bringing together thousands of emergency medicine professionals who share the same passion – providing the best possible care when people need it most.
It's not just about the learning (though that's incredible). It's about the connections, the support, and the shared commitment to making emergency care better for everyone.
That's the spirit we're bringing to Salt Lake City for !

SCP Health (SCP) is a clinical company. At our core we work to bring hospitals and healers together in the pursuit of clinical effectiveness. With a portfolio of over 8 million patients, 7500 providers, 30 states, and 400 healthcare facilities, SCP Health is a leader in clinical practice management spanning the entire continuum of care, including emergency medicine, hospital medicine, wellness, telemedicine, intensive care, and ambulatory care.
Clinically rooted
Established in 1994, SCP Health (SCP) – previously Schumacher Clinical Partners – was founded on the belief that there was a better way to deliver and manage emergency medical services in the hospital environment. Our founder, William “Kip” Schumacher, M.D., aimed to make a positive difference in emergency medicine practice management and services. Over time, that vision evolved to encompass a broader role as a clinical service partner.
Today, SCP has grown to one of the largest healthcare partners in the country. At our core, we work to bring hospitals and healers together in pursuit of clinical effectiveness.
Working toward a better way
After 20 years of operating independently, the originally named Schumacher Group merged with like-minded physician management group Hospital Physician Partners in 2015. The move grew SCP’s national reach, adding 2,000 providers and multiple states to the roster. The following year they also joined forces with ECI Healthcare Partners, a hospital and physician management group. With a new portfolio of 8 million patients, 7,500 providers, 30 states, and 400 hospital facilities, this powerful trio set out to deliver better hospital and physician services on a national level. SCP Healths current array of clinical program offerings has evolved from standalone emergency medicine to span the entire continuum of care including telemedicine, hospital medicine, intensive care, and ambulatory care.
