Southeast Medical Group (SEMG) is a coalition of independent primary care practices located across the southeastern United States. SEMG connects these independent practices to share resources and expertise, aiming to expand the scope of patient care and improve health outcomes across the region.

Southeast Medical Group (SEMG) was founded in 2022 as the medical arm of Southeast Primary Care Partners (SPCP), a healthcare management services organization. SEMG was created to integrate independent clinics into a unified network, providing them with operational support, including assistance with marketing, finance, and back-office functions. The goal of SEMG is to foster a value-based healthcare system that focuses on better health outcomes and cost reduction for patients in the southeastern United States.[1]

By integrating healthcare services, SEMG strives to enhance the coordination of care across its network of practices, ensuring that patients receive timely, efficient, and comprehensive care.[3]
