Elisabeth M. Stambaugh, MD, MMM

Director

Elisabeth started down her journey as a medical group leader because she wanted to be a part of the change that would transform the U.S. from the best place to receive advanced medical care to the best place to experience healthcare. She joined AMGA because it was obvious to her that their mission and values are aligned, and that AMGA is in a class by itself in terms of promoting and advocating for the group practice model and value-based healthcare. Her experience with AMGA has included serving as chair of the CMO Council, participating as a member of the Public Policy Committee and Capitol Hill Day, participating with the Large Group Council and the Women in Leadership Council, as well as regularly attending and participating in annual conferences and IQL conferences.

Since 1998 she has practiced as an OB/GYN in High Point, NC, and now serves as chief medical officer for the Wake Forest Health Network, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, having previously served as the CMO for Cornerstone Health Care, winner of the 2015 Acclaim Award. Her multispecialty group has 450 physicians and advanced practice providers located in over 100 community settings across central North Carolina. When Cornerstone Health Care was acquired by Wake Forest, they brought their expertise in value-based care and population health to the organization and continue to lead the way in care model transformation. Wake Forest joined the Atrium Health family in November 2021 and Elisabeth is now working with enterprise leaders to expand this expertise across the larger organization
