#24: Scaling VEP From 2 sites to 30+ w/ VEP President, Dr. Steve Maron

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Steve Maron who is the President of VEP Healthcare, the 8th largest EM group in the nation. From his early start as an EMT - he discovered his calling into medicine after providing care at a free clinic in Sacramento, California. Despite the abundance of hospitals and clinicians in the city, he witnessed the maldistribution of healthcare first hand and decided to become a doctor. He worked in academics followed by international medicine for 10 years prior to being appointed to his executive role at VEP, which has an amusing backstory. Through his leadership, VEP, a provider owned and provider run company, has grown aggressively and now operates in all kinds of specialities. More recently, they have spun off a new venture capital company called VEP Ventures.***If you enjoyed the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?  It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really helps us get the word out about the show.For more thoughts about physician independence and autonomy, visit us at:sycamoredocs.comtwitter.com/sycamoredocsyoutube.com/sycamoredocsfacebook.com/sycamoredocsinstagram.com/sycamoredocsCredits:Theme Music - White Waves by Shearwater
