Celebrating 15 Years of Premier Medical Group’s Growth and Impact

Premier Medical Group is proud to celebrate 15 years of delivering exceptional medical care and fostering community wellness in the Hudson Valley. As we reflect on our journey, we are filled with gratitude—for the patients who trust us, the physicians who guide us, and the community that inspires us. What began as a small, two-specialty practice has grown into the largest physician-owned medical group in the region, without ever losing sight of our mission: to provide high-quality, compassionate, and locally rooted care.

Humble Beginnings: A Two-Specialty Practice

In 2010, GI Associates and Hudson Valley Urology came together to form Premier Medical Group of the Hudson Valley. From this foundation, we have continually expanded, adding specialties and services to meet the evolving needs of our patients—always guided by a commitment to excellence and personalized care.

With over 400,000 patient encounters annually, we are proud to be a trusted healthcare partner to thousands of families across the region. 

The Power of Physician Ownership

Our physician-owned model is at the core of who we are. It ensures that decisions are made by those who understand firsthand what patients and staff need—because they’re the ones providing the care every day. This structure eliminates the disconnect often seen in larger healthcare systems, allowing us to remain agile, responsive, and deeply patient-focused.

Being physician-owned empowers us to invest strategically in areas that matter most—from opening new offices to expanding services and acquiring advanced medical technologies. It also means we can foster a culture where innovation thrives and patient care remains our top priority.

A Legacy of Innovation and Patient-Centered Care

From the start, Premier Medical Group has prioritized innovation and a patient-centered care philosophy. Our physicians are not only experienced experts in their fields, but also neighbors, advocates, and active members of the community. We strive to deliver care that aligns with each patient’s preferences, needs, and values—because health outcomes are better when care is collaborative.

Our investments in technology and infrastructure are always made with one goal in mind: to serve the people of the Hudson Valley with the highest quality medical care possible. From advanced diagnostic tools to new specialty programs, we ensure our patients receive the very best—without needing to leave their community.

Building for the Future

As we reflect on 15 years of growth, innovation, and unwavering dedication to patient care, we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished. From our humble beginnings to becoming the largest physician-owned practice in the Hudson Valley, our journey has been fueled by a commitment to excellence, a deep connection to our community, and a patient-centered approach that puts the well-being of those we serve at the forefront.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the future. With new facilities, expanded specialties, and programs like our Certified Medical Assistant Program and Leadership Development Program, we continue to invest in our team, our patients, and the broader healthcare community. Our focus remains on advancing medical care, adopting cutting edge technologies, and ensuring that our practice remains a trusted, patient-focused provider for years to come.

We are grateful to our physicians, staff, and most importantly our patients for being part of this incredible journey. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to grow, innovate, and serve the Hudson Valley with the same dedication that has defined us for the past 15 years. Here’s to the future of Premier Medical Group–one built on quality care, strong relationships, and a commitment to making a lasting impact on our community.
