Greg has been working directly with trauma centers, trauma systems, and governing trauma agencies since 1984, making Bishop+Associates the nation’s most experienced consulting firm in the areas of trauma center and trauma system evaluation and development. Greg has been an innovator in trauma care for decades and is adept at thinking strategically about new issues and working with hospital leaders to develop creative solutions.

Greg holds an MBA in Health Care Management from Stanford University, was a healthcare consultant with Ernst and Young, and is uniquely qualified to help trauma centers understand their financial performance, optimize their financial situations, navigate the politics of trauma centers and health care systems, and make hard financial and medical staffing decisions.

Among his many accomplishments:

• National trauma financial analyses, including the Trauma Resource Project (1988), Trauma 2000 (1989), and the Managed Trauma Care Project (1994).

• The Trauma Center Economic Study in 1991, which benchmarked trauma center financial performance in collaboration with the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST).

• Trauma Resource Network (1996), which became what is now know as the Trauma Center Association of America (2004), a membership program of trauma centers and systems, with a focus on economic issues and best practices.

• Direct involvement in the proposal to the National Uniform Billing Committee (2002) for the trauma patient "activation charge" (68x) that was then approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

• Evaluation of state trauma systems and trauma center funding initiatives in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.

As a brother of 12, father of four, and grandfather of four, Greg also has a passion for advising and equipping dads-to-be with the skills and confidence they need to be good fathers. In 1990, Greg founded Boot Camp for New Dads. Initially as a trauma center injury prevention program, the nonprofit organization is dedicated to preparing men to be fathers and to protect and keep their babies safe. Since its inception, Boot Camp for New Dads has graduated more than 500,000 men, making it the nation’s largest program for new fathers, and is now offered in 44 states, on U.S. military bases, Canada and the U.K.
