As a family physician, Scott became proficient in analyzing problems, providing solutions while serving as personal “health coach” to his patients. As a hospital executive, he was challenged daily with a wide range of organizational issues, once again calling on his abilities to think strategically, orchestrate effective solutions, and motivate his staff with a vision of the future. Scott currently consults with hospitals around the country training medical staff and hospital leadership in the principles of quality improvement, hospital and physician profiling, consumer-driven healthcare, and pay for performance models. He has also published and spoken nationally on clinical case management.

In addition to the healthcare arena, Scott has facilitated a number of organizational planning activities for a number of non-profit organizations including the local Chamber of Commerce. In addition, he has a special passion for private schools. As a board member of such a school, he is spearheading an extensive board reorganization effort while also developing the communication strategies for a $7.5 million capital campaign to build the third school of an evolving private school system.

Scott regularly guest lectures in the School of Nursing at the University of Washington-Tacoma, addressing issues of healthcare quality while also consulting with Gateway Medical Alliance, an international medical relief organization, in areas of organizational and board development. In addition, he serves as board member of First Choice Health Network, working especially with its Quality and Governance Committees. Scott has previously chaired the Community Advisory Board of the University of Washington’s Health Promotions Research Center and has served on a wide variety of other civic, corporate, and non-profit boards.

Scott received his undergraduate education at Pacific Lutheran University, his medical training at the University of Washington, and residency training at the University of Iowa. He also has a Masters in Preventive and Administrative Medicine from the University of Wisconsin. Scott and his wife, Michele, live in western Washington have three children: Aaron, Mallory, and Katie. Scott and Michele have a passion for exploring the world and have traveled extensively in SE Asia, North Africa, and other parts of the globe.
