     Practice Information
    Practice Name: Guthrie Clinic
    Year Established: 1910
    Number of physicians in group: 500 + Physician and Advanced Practice Providers
    History of group / practice:

    In 1910 Dr. Donald Guthrie brought the multi-specialty group practice model to Sayre, PA, from the Mayo Clinic where he performed his surgical residency. The success of this organization is based on the three values that Dr. Guthrie set forth: patient centeredness, teamwork and excellence. These core values inform all our endeavors as we pursue our vision of improving health through clinical excellence and compassion; every person, every time. 
    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. 
    Practice Description :

    Guthrie’s group practice is collegial, collaborative and compassionate. Our physicians share a vision that is grounded in patient centeredness, teamwork and excellence.

    Guthrie offers distinct advantages to physicians through its integrated model that is already poised to thrive in the changing healthcare landscape. With its physician led, patient centered, research driven culture, Guthrie advances the quality of care and the level of service to patients. Its financial strength, established patient volumes and commitment to physician development and success bode well for the long-term solvency and robust future of the organization.
