Philosophy of the group:

Guthrie President Joseph Scopelliti chose Guthrie for the collegiality, “Because the environment of mutual respect and trust was so unique and attractive to me that I had to stay.” In the complex and chaotic business of healthcare, the real strength of a physician-led group practice model like Guthrie’s is the ability to remove the complexity and minimize obstacles. This way, physicians and their support staff can provide the very best care for patients with the greatest degree of ease and efficiency.
