Physician Solutions Group is the premier provider of doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants for a network of LIFE programs in Pennsylvania.

Physicians at LIFE programs are able to spend quality time with their patients. The physician is directly supported by nurse practitioners, physician assistants, RNs, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, social workers, dietitians, and a full administrative staff. We have a dedicated marketing team so the physician can focus on the patients and not growing the census.

The physician has a direct impact on the health and wellness of the elderly members of their community. There is an emphasis on getting to know the patients and their families. The physician gets to help the patients remain happy, healthy, and thriving in their own homes for as long as possible.

As a leader in the community, the physician is encouraged to build relationships with other providers in the area. This ensures continuity of care for the patients across their providers and cultivates trust in the surrounding medical community.
