“As leaders, we have a responsibility to offer opportunities and support. We are all leaders in our own right, and we must all continue to do the work that affects people, patients, organizations, and more importantly, the world.”

– Dr. Reginald Nesbitt, VP and Regional Medical Officer

“Throughout my career at SCP, there has been a great investment in me and in my team.

When I first started with SCP, I was a regular attending and ended up being an assistant medical director. They had conferences and sent me to leadership training for development.

I pass that investment on to my team. What we do is challenging, and we have to be able to rely on one another, so it’s important that the team comes together under the ethos of what we are trying to do: give compassionate care to our patients and be invested in the community where we live.

– Margaret MacMillan, MD, Medical Director

“Never in my career have I felt more supported than I do at SCP Health. For such a large organization, they maintain a small company feel. My experience with them has shown me that our leaders are both extraordinarily talented and genuinely invested in each individual’s success. I have absolute confidence in our direction as an organization.”

– Nathan Ethridge, PA-C
