Physicians & Providers

FirstHealth Physician Group

The FirstHealth Physician Group (FHPG) is comprised of over 400 doctors and non-physician practitioners employed by FirstHealth of the Carolinas. It was formed to give its members an effective vehicle to provide excellent care and a rewarding professional home. Organizing FirstHealth providers into a multi-specialty group practice allows its members greater autonomy over their professional lives at a time when it is imperative that physicians lead the redesign of healthcare. The intent behind the formation of FHPG is to assure its practitioners are more than employees by providing for charting their own destiny within the larger FirstHealth organization.
