Founded in 1980, Southwest Medical Associates is an established emergency department management group providing services to healthcare facilities throughout the US. We are known in the industry for specializing in physician staffing for rural hospitals from low to high patient volume. At Southwest Medical, no emergency department task is too large or too small. We customize the coverage of our clients based on their individual needs. This ranges from part-time “as needed” coverage to last-minute emergencies, flexible coverage supplementing staff physician schedules to full-time staffing. The needs of rural hospitals and healthcare facilities are unique, and Southwest Medical understands this. That is why we have been a resource for rural healthcare for more than 44 years.
