Valley Health's Next Victim
About this video
A Valley Health commentary accusing CEO Mark Nance of targeting an independent family medicine practice after the emergency physicians. Flanary recounts, in his telling, that Front Royal Family Practice, a 48-year-old group and longtime residency teaching partner, was told to dissolve into Valley Health employment or leave, and chose to leave while staying independent locally. He argues the move cost residents experienced mentors and undercuts rural recruitment, contrasting it with the CEO’s public statements about putting patients first.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays the Front Royal choice, in his telling, as dissolve and be employed or leave
- He argues losing long-serving residency faculty harms recruitment the CEO elsewhere laments
- The practice itself stayed independent in the community, per Flanary’s account
- Claims about motives are Flanary’s characterization of Valley Health leadership
