Since then, we have grown to include some of the area’s most highly respected physicians in various medical specialties. These practices joined forces because they share a common interest in both providing leading medical care in a community setting and working collaboratively in a group practice. This model provides physicians with the advantages and stability of a large group and the support of a collegial and collaborative medical environment.
