With regard to the direction of EMP, how are the decisions made and who makes them?
The equity assets of EMP are held in an Equity Trust, managed by trustees who are advised by a trust advisory board elected by the physician equity members. All decisions regarding the direction of EMP are made by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors receives its direction from the equity trust and the medical directors at each facility. The medical directors receive direction from the physicians at their location. Through this process each physician at EMP contributes to the direction EMP takes.
