To kick off FCEP’s 50th anniversary year, we asked our most dedicated partners — FCEP/EMLRC Annual Corporate Sponsors, who donate $10,000 or more each year — why they choose to invest in educating and supporting the emergency medicine industry. Read on to learn not only how these companies can support you and your practice, but why they love to do so.

Envision Healthcare is a leading, national medical group of physicians and advanced practice providers who care for 32 million patients a year. With 10,000 emergency physicians on the frontlines – and thousands more in anesthesiology, radiology, surgical services and women’s and children’s health – Envision focuses on protecting and empowering their clinicians so they can focus on what matters most: caring for patients.

“We firmly believe in supporting physicians so they can focus on caring for patients,” says CEO Jim Rechtin. “By providing physicians with a range of resources and administrative support, we help improve the patient-physician relationship and patient outcomes.” This type of support ranges from leadership coaching and clinical research, to quality reporting and mental health and well-being support.

Envision has more than 45 years of experience with emergency medicine and continues to drive improvements in clinical quality and research, care coordination and the patient experience. They understand the critical role emergency medicine plays within the healthcare system, and how their teams of talented and dedicated individuals can change the delivery of care through their collective expertise.

“As emergency physicians, we are often the first to treat patients. We are there for them and their families during some of their most challenging moments. We also make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives,” says CEO.

Envision has worked to improve patient handoffs with radiology teammates at the hospital, relationships with local EMS, and national emergency/disaster trainings for their clinicians, to name a few. They are now actively working to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive healthcare environment that reflects the communities they serve.

As a medical group committed to empowering physicians and improving the delivery of care, Envision shares a common goal with EMLRC/FCEP and recognizes what we do to support the emergency medicine specialty in Florida through annual support. The Life After Residency Retreat at Sirata Beach in 2019 is a favorite, recent memory.

“We value the opportunity to network and collaborate with emergency medicine colleagues throughout Florida,” says CEO. “As we navigate the ever-evolving healthcare system, it’s important that we continue to build camaraderie, collaborate and improve the health of our communities.” ■
