MERCY HEALTH SYSTEM OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, located in Rogers/Bentonville, is recruiting a cardiologist. Join an established group of 4 Cardiologists in this inclusive, single hospital practice with a (1:5) call ratio and referrals coming from 22 primary care medical clinics. The newly renovated cardiology clinic is conveniently located adjacent to St. Mary’s Hospital a faith-based, not-for-profit Catholic organization servicing a growing population of over 550,000. 

The clinic has a comprehensive cardiovascular services program including an active open heart program, angioplasty, coronary stent placement, state of the art diagnostic testing and two newly equipped catherization labs including EP.  In addition, Mercy Health System of Northwest Arkansas is currently building a new $140 million replacement campus, a world class facility, due for completion in early 2008.

St. Mary’s Hospital ranks among the top 4% of hospitals in the nation for inpatient satisfaction scores, according to Press Ganey Associates, the leading independent vendor of patient satisfaction measurement services.

Economically, the area was ranked #1, The Best Performing Region in America, by the Milken Institute in June 2004.  Wal-Mart Corporation, the world’s largest company with annual revenues of over $280 billion, is based in our backyard.  Already 1000+ companies with ties to Wal-Mart have established offices in the area.  The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is just 20 miles away and offers more than 150 fields of study with an enrollment of over 15,000 students. The George Lucas Foundation recognized the Rogers school system as a national leader in technology. 

Northwest Arkansas’ multitude of mountains, streams, lakes, hiking trails and caves makes the area a true sportsman’s paradise, perfect for fishing, hunting and hiking.  Gorgeous scenery, diversity and unique features are the hallmarks of Arkansas golf courses.  As you might expect from the home of PGA legend, John Daly, Northwest Arkansas ranks 8th nationally for private golf holes per capita. With over 30,000 surface acres of sparkling Beaver Lake surrounded by the beautiful Ozark Mountain Range, few cities in America can match the appealing characteristics of Rogers.
