a change organization
Integral Leaders in Health is a public-benefit corporation (PBC) created by healthcare leaders to address South Carolina's Medical Care Crisis.
​
We are not advocates or consultants. We are impact brokers creating the blueprint for a medical care system whose primary purpose is patient well-being and physician autonomy. ILH accomplishes this by bringing together like-minded partners to advance new projects, programs and strategies focused on two critical areas: medical care reform and physician realignment.
​
If you find that the medical care environment seems to get more difficult to navigate, you are not alone; it no longer places patient well-being as its top priority. It's increasingly depersonalized, corporatized and characterized by doctor-patient burnout. We are committed to changing that.
our leaders
Our roster of seasoned professionals collectively have over 150 years of experience in healthcare, communications and government affairs. Our team has achieved actionable change before in S.C., and we couple those proven successes with fresh new perspectives we have gained through our work outside of the system.
Get connected with us to be a part of a solutions revolution. Together, with your involvement and input, we can strategically evolve the state of our medical care even further beyond the scope and topics of access and quality of care.
Integration requires connection. We have to work together to establish a better and more balanced medical care system in South Carolina.
Fill out the form to learn more about us, work with us, or share your own patient/provider experiences as a potential participant in our ongoing research and grassroots projects.

"For decades we have heard that the US healthcare system is in crisis — a Public Healthcare Crisis where population disease burden, poverty, and other social determinants of health have policy makers and healthcare administrators scrambling for solutions.
"However, we would like to suggest that there is another crisis looming — a crisis that threatens the basic foundation of medicine where patient well-being is no longer the primary objective: the Medical Care Crisis..."

Published in October 2023 and written by Spence M. Taylor, M.D. and Jerry Youkey, M.D. (ILH CEO and Director of Physician and Practice Relations, respectively) – "this book is written from the perspective of medical care in the state of South Carolina, where the authors have worked for the past 30 years. We believe the examples we use from our state are applicable to all of America."
