Montage Health launches Center for Physician Excellence
When doctors are supported, connected, and engaged, they are better equipped to provide patients with excellent healthcare. This is the idea behind Montage Health’s new Center for Physician Excellence, a physician-driven center that is designed to cultivate and sustain a thriving local medical community to care for patients in our community.
The center offers programs and initiatives to support the professional development, personal wellbeing, and community connection of the nearly 500 local physicians affiliated with Montage Health. The center’s offerings include:
- Continuing education, clinical advancement, and professional development giving opportunities to grow physician expertise
- Wellness services to support emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing
- Physician grants program to grow skills and advance in their fields
- Clinical efficiency supporting improvement initiatives
- Volunteer opportunities to give back to our local community and beyond
- Financial health program including student loan support and financial planning to help doctors plan for their futures
- Social events to connect doctors with colleagues, family, and community
We value our physicians’ work and dedication to the health of our community and know they are vital to all we do today and in the future.
—Dr. Steven Packer, President/CEO, Montage Health
Our goal is to offer well-rounded, comprehensive services to support our medical staff, enabling them to provide excellent healthcare to our patients and community.
“We value our physicians’ work and dedication to the health of our community and know they are vital to all we do today and in the future,” said Dr. Steven Packer, President/CEO, Montage Health.
Made possible by local philanthropy
The center is made possible thanks to grant support from Montage Health Foundation and the Lucas Fund for Physician Excellence. The Lucas Fund was created through a $5 million gift by local philanthropist Sally Lucas to Montage Health Foundation and is strengthened through ongoing gifts from the community.
“My late husband Don and I felt blessed to have Community Hospital and their doctors available to us. My desire is to make sure this continues in the future, and I hope this donation helps encourage brilliant doctors to come, live, and practice in this very special community,” said Lucas.
