What we offer

Services designed around your residents, your staff, your facility.

Lead Physicians provides leadership, experience, and compassionate care — centered around communication. We work with your facility’s needs and current staffing model to deliver the highest level of care.

Our model

A small, expert team built around your facility.

Dr. Santos and Dr. Varnau will be your two provider physicians, supported by our two founding nurse practitioners — Christine Inman, NP and Tosha Forshey, NP — both high-level acute-care NPs skilled in adult inpatient medicine.

The team is intentionally sized. We will never take on a new facility unless we have the resources in spades — time, top-tier personnel, and processes — to deliver an exceptional standard of care from day one.

What partnership looks like in practice.

We’ll do everything possible from a provider standpoint to limit and reduce hospital readmissions and ED visits. This is a passion of ours, and we know it’s important to you.

  • Reduce readmissions and ED visits through in-house management.
  • Partner closely with rehab to improve ALOS, ADL metrics, and community discharges.
  • Elevate patient satisfaction and the SNF’s reputation in the local market.
  • Drive measurable improvement in quality metrics and Star Ratings.
We will manage more in-house — protecting your residents and your facility’s quality metrics.
