Meet Bentley Tate, MD

After 29 years in rural emergency medicine, including two decades as Medical Director at Colorado’s first Level 3 Trauma Center, Dr. Bentley Tate shifted his focus from caring for patients in crisis to caring for the clinicians who serve them. As Chief Wellness Officer at SCP Health, he now supports over 7,500 physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants nationwide. 

Dr. Tate’s approach combines frontline clinical credibility with unique theological and international health training. His deeply relational philosophy is simple but powerful: a single meaningful conversation can transform a clinician’s trajectory. He works at every level—with individual providers, organizational leaders, and systemic barriers—to help clinicians move from surviving to thriving.
