The 2023 report marks the 11th anniversary of the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment, and ApolloMD applauds our hospital partners earning the A-level score for excellence in patient safety.

As ApolloMD continues expansion of our hospital medicine service line, we also announce the appointment of two hospital medicine leaders collaborating on the management and support of our teams. Dr. John Sullivan, Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. Ashley Varner, National Medical Director of Hospital Medicine, assume these new roles, combining their experience and expertise into a dynamic partnership for serving ApolloMD hospitalists.

The annual ApolloMD Leadership Conference returned to an in-person format in December 2021 by following recommended health protocols for gathering. Our organization’s clinical and corporate leaders met December 7th and 8th at the Omni Hotel at the Battery Atlanta overlooking the home stadium of the 2021 World Series Champion Atlanta Braves—the perfect spot for a meeting of the individuals who always knock it out of the park for ApolloMD.

As with many things this year, the COVID-19 pandemic required a new venue for the annual ApolloMD Leadership Conference. Traditionally hosted as an in-person two-day retreat, our teams went virtual for this year’s conference. More than 200 clinical and corporate leaders from across the organization gathered online and enjoyed the same great content, guest speakers and networking opportunities.

Current healthcare trends are heavily reliant on improving patient satisfaction and experience. Making changes might seem like an easy task, but many times simple solutions to improve patient satisfaction scores are overlooked.
