Dr. Massingale co-founded TeamHealth more than four decades ago and has helped shape it into one of the nation’s largest physician-led healthcare organizations, today touching roughly 28 million patients a year, including nearly 10% of all emergency department visits in the nation. Throughout his tenure, he has remained focused on three enduring priorities: quality care, accountability and growing the people around him, maintaining that commitment across thousands of hospital partnerships nationwide. He brings deep personal investment in TeamHealth’s leadership development initiatives, working directly with physicians, advanced practice clinicians and emerging leaders across the organization, with alumni now serving as medical directors, executives and educators across the country. His influence extends well beyond TeamHealth, having served as medical director of emergency medical services for the state of Tennessee, chaired the Emergency Department Practice Management Association, and served on the boards of the Nashville Healthcare Council, Cedar Recovery and Southeast Primary Care Partners, among numerous other roles. He has been recognized as one of the American College of Emergency Physicians’ “Heroes of Emergency Medicine,” and inducted into the Tennessee Health Care Hall of Fame in 2018. Dr. Massingale also received the EY “Entrepreneur of the Year” award in the services category for the Southeast region and the “Outstanding Alumnus Award” from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.
