BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dr. Steve Krebs (Chairman)

Founder of Wheat Ridge Internal Medicine (WRIM) in 1994, Dr. Steve Krebs is a leading community recognized primary care physician. He remains the president and CEO of WRIM, which is the largest single site, non-Kaiser, internal medicine practice in the Denver metro area. In addition, he was a founding member of Superior Health Systems (SHS) in 1995, which was a PCP-driven, managed care IPA that merged with Northern Health Partners (NHP) in the late 1990's becoming Primary Physicians Partners, the areas largest non- Kaiser managed-care IPA. Dr. Krebs served as President of SHS and the post merger entity, PPP until 2004 when he electively stepped down to pursue other opportunities. In 1996, Dr. Krebs once again founded another entity, Inpatient Services, PC (ISPC) along with Rick Apke, MD and Eric Siegal, MD. He exited that partnership in 1998 when responsibilities at WRIM, and it's own inpatient services needs, became apparent. ISPC remains as Denver's largest and most successful independent inpatient admitting hospitalist group. Steve continues to serve as a board member and an Inpatient Medical Director for Physician Health Partners (PHP), an innovative physician driven MSO in the Denver metro area.
