In the September 25th BusinessWeek Cover Story, Chief Economist Michael Mandel writes: "Health care has added 1.7 million jobs since 2001. The rest of the private sector? None."
Finding qualified medical professionals is more challenging and competitive than ever, leading many hospitals to outsource their staffing to a growing cadre of health care organizations.
Dr. William "Kip" Schumacher, founder and CEO of the The Schumacher Group, created a different kind of emergency medicine management organization when he established his company in 1994. Physician-owned and operated, Kip and his staff are deeply committed to enhancing patient care. The fast growing organization now contracts with over 130 hospitals and is associated with over 1000 physicians.
