Leading the Way in Hospital Medicine

Inpatient Physician Associates (IPA) is a physician-owned and physician-led hospital medicine practice group located in Lincoln, Nebraska. Established in 2001 as one of the first hospitalist practice groups, IPA has grown to become one of the largest hospitalist groups in the U.S., providing care to inpatients at Bryan Medical Center’s two locations in Lincoln and at Grand Island Regional Medical Center. We serve patients from communities across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and other states in the region. 

Our compassionate and experienced team includes board-certified internal medicine physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and registered nurse coordinators. Each team member at IPA is a stakeholder in the company. Because each of our physicians are involved in the day-to-day operations and decision making, each member is fully committed to making our hospitalist group the best it can be.

 What makes IPA unique is our culture of teamwork and the extraordinary level of medical expertise we provide to our patients, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are committed to providing the highest quality care to the patients we serve in an atmosphere of collegial support and sharing of best practices. 

Hospitalist care has been well received within our community and across the country. Surveys of our referring physicians and patients consistently show a very high satisfaction rating for our hospitalist program. Patients appreciate having a physician immediately available to answer questions and to meet with their families at any time.

Our commitment to quality care and service has led to a national reputation for excellence. As a result, our program model has been featured in leading healthcare publications and we have consulted with practices throughout the country to establish, expand, and improve hospitalist programs.
