Essential Healthcare Group

Immediate professional practice solutions for physicians who want to better serve their communities and patients.

Why Essential Healthcare Group?

Essential Healthcare Group (EHG) is a multi-specialty professional practice corporation owned by a licensed physician within a state and managed by AMSURG.

Finding a Path in a Changing Environment

Several forces at play in the healthcare sector today make Essential Healthcare Group an attractive option for physicians. Operating a practice is more risky, more costly and more complex than ever ... and, as a result, more physicians have opted for employment-based options, even when they want ownership. Other physicians want to sustain their community-based practices as they move into different stages of life.

Reducing the Anxiety of Ownership

By providing a full suite of professional support, multiple pathways for income growth, and opportunities for referrals, along with volume and compensation security, Essential Healthcare Group reduces the risk and responsibility of practice management and ownership. EHG takes care of business while our physicians take care of their patients.

Optimizing Care Within the Community

With Essential Healthcare Group, physicians can come together across specialties, providing a full-service experience within their community that will save patients time and money by offering comprehensive coordination of care. EHG meets patients and physicians right where they are, offering solutions that optimize the healthcare experience.

We’re so grateful to have found Essential Healthcare Group. We needed to transition our practice ownership, and it was a complex, daunting prospect. EHG provided incredible support along with some peace of mind. Within two days of opening our new doors, we served almost two dozen patients in the community we love and call home.
