"If you want to join a model democratic Emergency Medicine group practice in which you will have a high degree of clinical autonomy in the ED, control over your own work schedule and other important aspects of your practice, and where your opinions and input into running the group will matter at every level, then Northwest Acute Care Specialists is for you!"

"In my nine years at NACS, I have been impressed by our adaptability to both external influences and, more so to an internal drive for continual improvement. The ability of our group to thrive in change gives me confidence that tomorrow will be better than today."
Advancing Innovative and Equitable Care to All
Established in 1997, Northwest Acute Care Specialists emerged from the consolidation of four Emergency Medicine physician groups initially contracted with Legacy Health System. Today, NACS stands as a leader in emergency medicine and ambulatory care, partnering with hospitals and urgent care clinics to deliver professional services in emergency and urgent care medicine.
How is NACS different?
As an independent, physician-owned, and democratically led Emergency Medicine group, NACS is dedicated to meeting the significant challenges in emergency medicine with innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and patient outcomes.
We foster a culture of innovation and creative problem-solving across our locations, recognizing that localized strategies are essential for addressing unique community needs.
As a result, we have established a financially sustainable company, prioritizing a professional work environment where our providers can pursue lifelong careers.
Service, Teamwork, Excellence, Compassion
