Cutting Edge Care
With the current shortage of general surgeons, and the increasing pressure of Emergency Department (ED) unassigned call placed solely on the community surgeons, the system is beyond capacity. Medical centers and communities are lacking general surgery coverage. As a part of our ongoing effort to increase access to medicine, Apogee Physicians provides a turnkey solution for in-house general surgery coverage. We have a proven infrastructure that allows surgeons to focus on patient care while we manage the business of medicine with the fundamental vision:
"What’s best for the patient is best for the practice.™"
Hospital Partners
Why Apogee Surgicalists?
Apogee would like to partner with your hospital to implement a new Surgicalist Program. This program is designed to streamline surgical admissions from the ED by improving response times and reducing barriers to admission. This will relieve the burden of ED surgical call for the community surgeons so they may focus on elective and high-margin surgery cases.
