Our team
Experienced leaders. A shared purpose.
Our team brings more than 150 years of combined experience in medicine, healthcare leadership, business, communications and public policy.
We have led hospitals and health systems, trained physicians, built clinical programs, shaped healthcare policy and guided organizations through meaningful change. Today, we are using that experience to build practical solutions for the future of medical care.
Featured initiative
Building South Carolina’s physician workforce.
The SCMA Graduate Medical Education Consortium
All South Carolinians, regardless of where they live, should have access to high-quality medical care. In partnership with the South Carolina Medical Association, we created the SCMA Graduate Medical Education Consortium — an accredited residency program working with hospitals and healthcare partners across the state.
The consortium is designed to train, prepare and retain family medicine physicians equipped to serve South Carolina’s rural and underserved communities — creating a sustainable physician pipeline for the areas that need it most.

The ideas behind the mission
UNBALANCED: The Evolving Medical Care Crisis
For decades, conversations about healthcare reform have focused primarily on population health, cost and access. But another crisis threatens the foundation of medicine: a medical care system in which patient well-being is no longer always the primary objective.
Written by Spence M. Taylor, M.D. and Jerry Youkey, M.D., UNBALANCED examines the forces that have disrupted the physician-patient relationship and presents a case for restoring balance to medical care.

Help us build a better future for medical care.
We believe patients deserve care built around their well-being — and physicians deserve the autonomy to lead it. If you share that vision, we invite you to learn more and explore opportunities to collaborate.
