RSSG

Rssg

RSSG understands that one of the biggest obstacles that prevents rural facilities from providing quality surgery programs is the common challenge of surgeon recruitment and retention.  RSSG solves this issue by recruiting a group of highly skilled, board certified surgical specialists that choose to serve rural communities.  

Rural hospitals understand the role a surgical service line plays in supporting primary care providers, fulfilling their mission to the community, and bolstering their financial stability – yet the expense of traditional surgery lines is often cost prohibitive.  RSSG’s custom programs break the traditional model and delivers a new solution that meets today’s hospital’s needs – both clinically and financially.   

 

RSSG provides turnkey surgical solutions that includes clinical and administrative  expertise to guide each facility’s development and implementation of a long-standing surgery program.   

Let us show you how RSSG can change the old notion that rural hospitals can’t afford a surgery program into a new perspective that proves rural communities can’t afford NOT to have a surgery program! 

 

our

OUR STORY

RSSG is a surgeon led physician group that was founded specifically to address the surgical needs of rural hospital throughout the US. RSSG’s surgicalist model is the industry leader in providing gold standard orthopedic and general surgery services to America’s rural hospitals. Not locums – but a platform of custom and full-time surgical solutions that will efficiently and effectively address rural hospitals’ unique clinical and financial needs.

Our leadership understands that rural hospitals’ fiscal constraints often limit their ability to fully achieve the needs of their community service missions. Traditional in-house surgical programs have been plagued with the challenges of aligning operational costs with community needs, but the RSSG model offers flexible, turnkey surgical solutions that meet community needs while improving facility operating margins. RSSG understands how limited your vital resources can be and how critical ROI is for each rural operation.

By collaborating with rural healthcare leaders, RSSG is continually searching for ways to address the surgical concerns of rural hospitals. With RSSG’s experience in building and implementing successful surgery programs coupled with our extensive program development and management, RSSG is best equipped to partner with rural facilities to achieve both clinical success for your patients and financial solvency for your facility.

Founder Gregory D. McClain, MD leads Rural Surgery Solutions Group. Dr. McClain’s decades in surgical practice and his extensive program development and management experience guide the development of Rural Solutions Group.
