The Pitt gave millions of viewers a window into emergency medicine. But what did it actually get right?

This Thursday evening, four emergency physicians - Dr. Ken Heinrich, Dr. Stephen Nichols, Dr. Bentley Tate, and Dr. Brian Dawson - sit down for a live conversation about what the show captured — and what it couldn't — about the reality of practicing emergency medicine today.

Join them for "After the shift: The Pitt, unpacked"
Thursday, April 23 | 8:00 PM ET

If you work in emergency medicine, lead a team that does, or just spent this season watching and wondering — this conversation is worth your time.

This is what community looks like.

Our Dallas team stuffed bags full of art supplies for kids in the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dallas, and our Lafayette team filled baskets with treats, toys, and encouragement for Boys & Girls Club of Acadiana members. All supplies provided by SCP — all hearts provided by our incredible team.

Public health is often thought of as population-level work — vaccines, seatbelt laws, cancer screening, health education. Evidence-based interventions that have saved millions of lives. But they were never designed to be the whole answer.

When prevention isn't enough — or isn't available — emergency departments and hospitals serve as the essential backstop of the system. Our clinicians are there for vaccine-preventable illness, trauma, climate-driven disease, the ripple effects of violence, and any acute or complex chronic illness. No appointment. No exceptions.

As Dr. Kate Koplan, SCP Health's Clinical Quality Officer, puts it: "Acute unscheduled care bridges the societal and the deeply personal. That's not just a safety net — that's the full power of public health."

This Public Health Week, we're proud to be part of the full picture.

Our Story

SCP Health (SCP) is a clinical company. At our core we work to bring hospitals and healers together in the pursuit of clinical effectiveness. With a portfolio of over 8 million patients, 7500 providers, 30 states, and 400 healthcare facilities, SCP Health is a leader in clinical practice management spanning the entire continuum of care, including emergency medicine, hospital medicine, wellness, telemedicine, intensive care, and ambulatory care.

Clinically rooted

Established in 1994, SCP Health (SCP) – previously Schumacher Clinical Partners – was founded on the belief that there was a better way to deliver and manage emergency medical services in the hospital environment. Our founder, William “Kip” Schumacher, M.D., aimed to make a positive difference in emergency medicine practice management and services. Over time, that vision evolved to encompass a broader role as a clinical service partner.

Today, SCP has grown to one of the largest healthcare partners in the country. At our core, we work to bring hospitals and healers together in pursuit of clinical effectiveness.
