**History
MGA began when two prominent, local physicians, Dr. Wade Erickson and Dr. Tom Grissom, wanted to serve the emerging healthcare needs of our community in a broader spectrum. One idea was to provide as much of a one-stop service as possible to save people time and travel as well as provide continuity of care. The multi—specialty group idea was birthed in 2012 and after much discussion and consultation with many industry leaders, the idea came into fruition in August 2016. A collaborative team, led by CEO Billy Houck, from across partnering companies developed an infrastructure to establish economies of scale that offset costs and keep more services in Alaska. This continues today with 5 Divisions within the MGA: Algone Interventional Pain and Regenerative Medicine, Capstone Family Medicine, Capstone Urgent Care, Emplower Physical Therapy and Our Doctor’s Pharmacy. We now have multiple locations in Wasilla, Palmer, Eagle River and Anchorage.
**Growth
To fulfil our mission, we do what it takes to help those in need. Alaska is a state that, at times, is behind the curve in technology, accessibility and forward thinking. This is driven by geographical limitations, technological growth and shortcomings as well as lack of access to industry leaders within the medical field. We are constantly considering ways to improve healthcare services to patients through the use of patient portals, tele-medicine, apps, modern facilities, specialists and broader service lines. Our intent is to foster Alaskan growth by investing in local resources to the communities we serve.
MGA currently has over 170 employees, 36 medical providers, 8 separate facilities and the ability to serve our patients seven days a week.
On the horizon, MGA sees the opportunity to partner with imagine centers, tele-medicine kiosks within local business, remote location tele-medicine, mobile Occupation Medicine, skilled nursing and long-term care collaboration with Assisted Living complexes and variour other ventures all aimed to fulfill our mission.
