About Us - Spokane Emergency Care Physicians

Our Story

SECP was formed to build an emergency medicine practice where clinical leadership, organizational accountability, and long-term partnership could work together. We believe emergency departments are strongest when the physicians providing care also help guide the practice’s direction, standards, and growth. That physician-owned model continues to shape how we support our hospital partners, engage our clinicians, and serve the Spokane region.

Our Organization

Built for how care is delivered

SECP brings together emergency medicine physicians, advanced practice providers, clinical leaders, and administrative professionals in a structure designed to support both high-quality care and reliable operations.

This model allows clinical oversight and operational coordination to work hand in hand, helping us respond effectively to the needs of patients, hospital teams, and community partners.

Shared Governance

Where physicians shape direction

SECP uses a shared-governance model that gives physicians a meaningful voice in leadership, strategic planning, and organizational decision-making. This structure promotes transparency, engagement, and accountability while ensuring that the perspective of practicing clinicians remains central to how the group evolves.

Physicians across the organization also have opportunities to contribute through committee work, leadership service, and practice initiatives that help shape the future of SECP.

Leadership & Team

SECP’s leadership team includes experienced physicians and administrators focused on maintaining strong clinical standards, a healthy practice culture, and productive hospital and community relationships. Our leadership structure is designed to balance clinical perspective with operational effectiveness, helping ensure the organization remains responsive, accountable, and aligned with the needs of both providers and hospital partners.
What distinguishes our model is that physician leaders remain active in clinical practice, maintaining a direct connection to the environments in which our teams work. This ongoing frontline involvement helps leadership decisions stay grounded in real-world patient care, department operations, and the day-to-day experience of clinicians.

How We Measure Success

SECP is committed to clinical excellence and operational reliability. We regularly review performance measures that help us assess quality, efficiency, provider engagement, and the overall strength of our practice. By monitoring key indicators, we are able to identify opportunities for improvement, reinforce strong performance, and support consistent care across emergency department settings.

Our approach combines frontline clinical insight with measurable operational data. This helps ensure that decisions remain grounded in patient experience, departmental efficiency, and the long-term health of the practice. We believe continuous review and thoughtful improvement are essential to maintaining strong outcomes for patients, clinicians, and hospital partners.
