IPC Healthcare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IPC Healthcare (Nasdaq: IPCM), previously known as IPC The Hospitalist Company, was a publicly traded corporation which operates a national physician group practice focused on the delivery of hospital medicine and related facility-based services. IPC providers manage the care of patients in coordination with primary care physicians and specialists in over 1,900 facilities in 28 states across the U.S.[1] The company name is derived from an earlier company called In-Patient Consultants Management, Inc. and the NASDAQ ticker name was changed to IPCM in 2008.[2] The company changed its name to IPC Healthcare in January 2015.[3] The company was acquired by TeamHealth in 2015 for $1.6 billion.[4]
Adam Dean Singer (born in Los Angeles on April 20, 1960) has been director, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of IPC since he founded the company in 1995, and in 2006, was designated as the Chief Medical Officer. In 1991, Singer acquired a private practice in pulmonary medicine that shortly thereafter merged with two other pulmonary physicians to become part of Consultants For Lung Disease, Inc.[5]
