Across our network and at our Health Support Center, we are united by a shared mission and vision, core values and guiding principles that drive everything we do and inform our approach to patient care, quality and how we do busine. We know that to achieve our vision of creating places where people choose to come for healthcare, physicians want to practice and employees want to work, we must organize around the right strategies. At LifePoint, our strategies are simple and enduring.
Our Operating Groups
LifePoint's facilities and practices are divided into four operating divisions: Eastern, Central, Mountain and Western. Each of these divisions has a leadership team that mirrors a hospital's leadership team, including a president and dedicated physician and provider leadership resources.
Our Health Support Center
Our Health Support Center (HSC), in Brentwood, Tennessee, has subject matter expertise in every area of healthcare operations and provider services. The HSC is organized to bring resources to bear across the continuum of care, from before a patient accesses healthcare services to after they are sent home, while keeping quality and compliance at the center.
On a daily basis, our group leaders and subject matter experts are working with our local markets to help develop and implement the right strategies that ensure healthcare thrives in their communities.
Our Physicians
Physicians are a critical access point to care in our communities. We work to build and maintain collaborative relationships with both our employed physicians and a broad network of affiliated providers, and we provide a full spectrum of practice management and physician support to help secure the delivery of quality care today and for the future.
