At Alteon Health, we’re advancing positive outcomes for hospitals, physicians, and patients—each and every day.
In 2017, we saw an opportunity to bring together the best in our industry to create an unrivaled network of partners and drive better outcomes for the people we serve.
To deliver on this opportunity, we brought together two leaders in our industry—Emergency Medicine Associates and Island Medical Management.
EMA, a physician-owned practice, has been a leader in emergency medical services since 1971, serving one million patients annually across Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia.
IMM, also a physician-owned organization providing services in emergency medicine and hospitalist medicine, has over 20 years of experience in medical management and touches two million patients each year through its 80+ programs.
With common values and complementary strengths, these two organizations are uniquely suited to come together as Alteon Health, a name that signals our commitment to setting a higher standard in healthcare.
For hospitals, this means assembling a staff of the most engaged, loyal, and highly performing physicians in the industry—enhancing their departments and enabling the highest quality service.
For clinicians, this means creating an environment that promotes career development and ongoing clinical improvement. By leveraging leading data, we help physicians and APPs be their best, while the back-office and administrative support of the national organization allows them to concentrate on their patients.
Each day, we’re advancing towards better outcomes with a people-powered approach—and we’ve only just begun.
For hospitals it means providing a staff of the most engaged, loyal, and highly performing clincians in the industry—enhancing their departments and enabling the highest quality performance.
For clinicians it means using data to improve the ecosystem and simplify processes, so they can concentrate on their patients. We co-create a career path that’s focused on their needs.
Unlike other groups, Alteon Health is physician owned and physician led at every level of our organization, including the c-suite.
Our national team exemplifies our focus on quality, new thinking and patient experience. Every one of our leaders brings both personal passion and deep medical expertise. It’s this hybrid approach that defines our organization and helps us improve patients’ lives.
