                 TeamHealth Expands Hospital Medicine Division
             Through Acquisition of Florida Acute Care Specialists

(KNOXVILLE, Tenn.) July 10, 2006 - TeamHealth today announced the acquisition
of the operations of Florida Acute Care Specialists (FLACS), expanding its
hospital medicine division to 400 hospitalists serving more than 80 hospitals.
This acquisition solidifies TeamHealth's position as one of the largest
hospital medicine groups in the nation.

FLACS was established in 1996 to provide comprehensive inpatient resource
management to hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and long-term acute care
facilities. The group has more than 100 full-time hospitalists who manage the
inpatient care of approximately 100,000 patients a year. Through contracts
with multiple health plans and hospitals, FLACS has a presence in more than 50
Florida hospitals and has a newly established market in Puerto Rico.

"TeamHealth's acquisition of FLACS exemplifies our commitment to hospital
medicine," says Lynn Massingale, M.D., FACEP, chairman and CEO, TeamHealth.
"The synergies of TeamHealth's growing hospital medicine division and our
long-standing leadership in emergency medicine uniquely position TeamHealth to
support physicians, client hospitals, and market-leading health plans in
providing exemplary care to patients."

"FLACS appealed to TeamHealth because they share our vision for the nation's
fastest-growing specialty," says Stacy Goldsholl, M.D., president, TeamHealth
Hospital Medicine. "Together, we are committed to improving the care of
hospitalized patients through dedicated, full-time hospitalists who work
collaboratively with each client hospital and its respective medical staff and
health plans."

"TeamHealth is a natural fit for FLACS. Because of its strong infrastructure
and investment in hospital medicine resources, TeamHealth is best positioned
to enable FLACS to continue to deliver on our promises to our clients," says
Steven Zaffos, CEO, FLACS.
