As a healthcare provider and as a Catholic ministry, ensuring we have a culture of safety for our associates, patients and communities is foundational to our work. Effective November 12, 2021, all new associates are required to have the influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, barring an approved medical or religious exemption.
At Ascension Medical Group our associates benefit from our nationwide collaboration between hospitals, medical practices and innovators. As a member of the largest nonprofit provider of care in the country, Ascension, we are able to share best practices and knowledge across our smart, coordinated network.
With locations in 22 states and the District of Columbia, it’s easy to find a community – and a practice – that meets your work-life needs. Ascension Medical Group provides opportunities to collaborate and share best practices with professional colleagues all over the country.
Our Promise
Ascension Medical Group’s promise is to create a nurturing environment that restores the joy of practice and enables a community of providers to deliver outstanding results by empowering physician leadership and connecting all clinicians to their vocation of healing and service. These guiding tenets serve as the cornerstone of our national ministry dedicated to serving populations in every geography.
Restoring the Joy of Medicine
Maintaining a healthy work environment and culture was important to Ascension’s founders. They recognized how important it was to promote clinician wellbeing long before the term was ever coined – and in their footsteps, we commit to creating a tangible cultural change that supports and celebrates our clinicians, ultimately restoring the joy of practice.
While clinicians began their careers with the aspiration of healing patients, all too often they do not feel supported in this work; which can cause disengagement and burnout. Ascension Medical Group clinicians will be most fulfilled when they are fully integrated through mind, body, and spirit as unique individuals, members of their community, and professionals serving their patients.
Burnout not only impacts clinicians, but also their families, patients and the health organization of which they are aligned. It is important to note that burnout and professional satisfaction are not solely the responsibility of the clinician. While it would be easy to pursue a narrow list of “solutions” such as stress management workshops and individual training in mindfulness and resilience, studies have found that such strategies neglect the organizational factors that are the primary drivers of physician burnout.

Our Care Model
Ascension Medical Group is further differentiated by our approach to seamless health coordination and tailored care models that meet the unique needs of individuals. Models include comprehensive care clinics, which address medical, social and behavioral needs of the patient through high-touch care, as well as telemedicine, to name a few.
A smarter, more coordinated system of care requires collaboration among private practice physicians, employed physicians, other practitioners and health systems. Our physician-led national provider organization, Ascension Medical Group, is a key component in helping Ascension achieve the quadruple aim: delivering exceptional health outcomes, an exceptional experience for the people we serve, and an exceptional experience for providers, at an affordable cost.
Building a smarter network requires an integrated approach that optimizes healthcare for each person. Ascension Medical Group has adopted a clinical care model that:
Utilizes the strength of a care team that supports our providers’ and our patients’ needs through seamless care delivery; transitions of care; disease management; and case management
Promotes communication, coordination and standardization
Provides persons what they need, when they need it, where they need it, with improved health outcomes at an affordable cost
