ABOUT EMPOWER

EMpower Emergency Physicians is committed to providing integrated and exceptional health care to acute care hospitals and patients.

About EMpower Emergency Physicians

EMpower Emergency Physicians was founded in 2003 as a democratic physician managed group with eight original partners. The focus of the group was to help restructure and analyze business practices to improve patient care and satisfaction. Over the years the group has grown exponentially and now contracts with four medical centers in Arizona.

Our medical providers have a long history of both patient satisfaction and provider satisfaction. In addition, MDs and DOs are board certified or board eligible through the American Board of Emergency Medicine.

EMpower’s Emergency Physicians excel at improving the quality of care patients receive while increasing hospital revenue and standing in the communities they serve.
