The "Sitting Paradox" is that while our jobs often require intense mental focus, the physical act of staying still may be harming the very brain-power we need to perform. The good news? You don’t need to quit your job to save your brain; you just need to change the way you move.

Women’s History Month: Celebrating a Founder Who Helped Build IEP
During , we’re proud to recognize Dr. Christine Morrison, one of the founding members of Independent Emergency Physicians.

Twenty-nine years ago, Christine and ten colleagues took a bold step. They chose to leave the security of traditional employment and build something different — a physician-owned, physician-led practice with a simple purpose: taking care of the patient by taking care of the provider.

It was a risk, a vision, and a bold decision that became Independent Emergency Physicians. Today IEP has grown to 450+ providers, caring for hundreds of thousands of patients each year across hospitals and urgent care centers.

Christine continues to be an active physician partner in the group she helped build. Her leadership helped shape the culture that defines IEP today: clinical excellence, physician partnership, and a deep commitment to patients and the communities we serve.

Today we celebrate Dr Morrison for the courage it took to build something new – and something lasting.
