We work to strengthen these relationships, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of the emergency department while enhancing the hospital's role in the community. ECC of TeamHealth forges partnerships with providers, payors, hospitals and healthcare organizations to harness, enhance and share the knowledge, experience and commitment of all, with the goal of improving the effectiveness of hospital-based healthcare resources in the communities we serve. Formerly Emergency Coverage Corporation, Emergency Coverage Corporation of TeamHealth provides administrative and staffing services to hospital emergency departments in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Benefits --------- When you select TeamHealth, you have the privilege of working among some of the industry's best clinicians. Often our affiliated physicians become leaders in the hospitals where they work and the communities where they live. Many serve in state or national specialty organizations, and some hold leadership positions on national committees and task forces. Because TeamHealth is led by physicians, we understand the daily stresses you face. To support you, we have created a physician well-being task force to help you better manage stress and reach the ideal "work-life" balance. And for those who need it, we provide dedicated support for physicians experiencing the stress of litigation. TeamHealth's financial stability ensures that we are able to meet our financial obligations to our affiliated providers. Additionally, we enjoy one of the highest client retention rates in the industry, and our clients' satisfaction translates into job stability for our physicians. If you like the security of putting down long-term roots in a community, TeamHealth offers you that option.
