Medical Group Practice Week, observed during the last week of January, highlights a care model built on collaboration, efficiency, and patient‑centered service. It is a time to recognize the physicians, advanced practice providers, clinical staff, and practice administrators who work together every day to support coordinated care in group practices.
At JCMG, this collaborative structure is the foundation of how we care for Mid-Missouri. Nearly 100 providers come together as one physician‑owned and physician‑led organization with a shared mission to deliver high‑quality, cost‑effective care for families across the region.
Because our leadership is made up of practicing physicians, every decision is grounded in firsthand experience, and a deep understanding of what patients need. This integrated model ensures that your family doctor, specialist, and surgeon are not separate entities but colleagues working side by side. The result is streamlined communication, coordinated treatment planning, and a care experience designed to keep you at the center of every choice.
One of Missouri’s largest independent, physician-owned groups
JCMG brings together nearly 100 providers across more than 30 specialties across 7 locations in Mid-Missouri. That means patients can see their family doctor, specialist, or surgeon without leaving the group they know and trust.
Caring for over 79,000 patients each year
Every year, JCMG serves tens of thousands of families in Mid‑Missouri. From routine checkups to outpatient surgery, care for children and families, as well as those with chronic conditions. Patients benefit from a team that understands their unique history and needs.
Founded in 1993 by local physicians
JCMG began when several small practices joined together to better serve Jefferson City and the surrounding communities. More than three decades later, that same commitment to collaboration continues to guide our growth.
Mission-driven, patient-centered care
Our mission is simple but powerful: deliver high-quality, cost-effective care built on a strong partnership between patients and physicians. Every decision reflects what’s best for the people we serve.
Physician‑owned and operated
JCMG is guided by physicians who practice here. This means policies and priorities are shaped by those who understand patient care from lived experience. We are not governed by a hospital system, which allows our physicians to make decisions based on what is best for patients rather than system requirements. Remaining independent allows us to continue providing high-quality, cost-effective care with compassion and quality at the forefront.
Expanding beyond Jefferson City
JCMG has grown to serve communities across Mid‑Missouri, bringing coordinated care closer to home for thousands of families. Even as we expand, we remain rooted in our original mission of high-quality, cost-effective care.
A true one-stop shop for health
With specialties that span pediatrics, oncology, physical therapy, and our state-of-the-art Surgery Center, JCMG offers comprehensive care for every stage of life. Families can rely on one trusted group for nearly all their healthcare needs, including laboratory services, imaging, and quick care.
Why It Matters: Impact on patients and community
At JCMG, “medical group practice” isn’t just a structure; it’s the heart of how we care for Mid‑Missouri. By bringing providers and specialties together under one group, we create a healthcare experience that is collaborative, efficient, and deeply personal.
For our patients, this means coordinated care, streamlined communication, and the confidence of knowing your health is supported by a team that works together for you. Its healthcare designed by doctors for the communities they call home. That’s what makes JCMG different.
