US Acute Care Solutions Celebrates Milestone Ten-Year Anniversary
CANTON, Ohio, May 15, 2025 – US Acute Care Solutions (USACS), the nation’s largest physician-owned emergency and inpatient medicine practice, celebrates its 10th anniversary today. This milestone marks a significant achievement in our practice’s history, highlighting the dedication of both the founding partners and legacy groups who have joined forces to advance their specialties and become national leaders in acute care.Over the last decade, we at USACS have remained committed to our physician-ownership model. Even amidst a challenging healthcare landscape and industry pressure to follow the status quo of scaling to sell, we have persisted in carving our own path. The practice’s successful, scalable growth is a direct result of choosing this uncharted route. Steadfast in our mission—to care for patients—we embrace a sustainable approach to ensure long-term physician ownership and clinician-led management for the benefit of patients.The practice now has greater than 6,000 clinicians who serve more than 11 million patients annually in 27 states at 400+ programs.“Reaching this milestone is absolutely incredible, and I could not be more proud of how far we’ve come,” reflected Dominic Bagnoli, MD, FACEP, FAAEM, Executive Chair of the USACS Board of Directors. “Ten years ago, we faced a crossroads with two options – sell the practice or go it alone – neither of which aligned with our values or goals. Rather than compromise, we took a leap of faith and created an unprecedented third option, one that preserved our independence and values yet allowed us to gain the strength that comes with scale. The solid foundation we built, grounded in physician ownership and patient-centric care, has enabled us to achieve long-term, sustainable success. I can’t wait to see what the next ten years have in store.”“It is a true privilege to lead this group of talented physicians, advanced practice providers, and MSO employees,” said CEO Chris Hummer. “We operate as one unified team with a shared goal of delivering exceptional care to our patients, an ambition that drives us to continually improve and pursue innovative solutions. I am humbled by the impact this practice has made since its inception and look forward to continuing on this path of meaningful work alongside my colleagues.”About USACSFounded by emergency medicine and inpatient physicians across the country, USACS is solely owned by its physicians and hospital system partners.
