Physician Relations Managers

At Premier Health, the Physician Relations Manager, or PRM, is an extension of the hospital administration team. Each PRM provides direct, personal service connecting community physicians and their office staff to hospital services, resources and medical specialists. We’re here to help, and we offer a wide range of services, including, if needed, working with you and your family to aid in your transition even before you get to town. Here are a few of the many kinds of support we can provide:

  • Onboarding physicians who are new to the system
  • Assisting with the credentialing process
  • Working with medical staff to help identify opportunities for growth and ways to improve relationships
  • Arranging face-to-face introductions and meetings between primary care physicians and Premier Health hospital specialists
  • Informing physicians about upcoming CME events and new technology, procedures or changes in processes
  • Answering questions and helping to resolve problems and break down barriers

PRMs are also available to provide assistance in Premier Health’s Medical Staff Lounges.
