Our Team
Greg Bishop, President and Founder
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 holds an MBA in Health Care Management from Stanford University 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, Greg conducted the Trauma Center Economic Study in 1991, which led him to create the Trauma Center Association of America, a trauma education and advocacy organization that today has hundreds of member hospitals. B+A worked directly with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) to create and codify trauma service charges in 2007. Greg also founded Boot Camp for New Dads, a nonprofit organization that leads the nation in preparing men to be fathers and to protect and keep their babies safe.
