ABOUT US
Emergency Care Specialists, PC, is a physician owned and governed private practice specializing in all aspects of acute care medicine.
Established in 1984 at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, ECS has continued to grow both in size and breadth to meet the needs of patients throughout Michigan. What started out as a small group of physicians staffing one emergency department and educating emergency medicine residents there has grown into a service that includes all aspects of acute care medicine.
Today, ECS is proud to retain over 200 physicians (about 150 of which are equal physician owners) and 90 Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners (who staff 12 emergency departments, caring for over 450,000 patients annually).
