St. Elizabeth Health Services has an excellent opportunity for a Family Practice physician to join an existing group in Baker City, Oregon.      

St. Elizabeth Health Services is seeking two board certified or board eligible Family Practice physicians to become part of a busy rural health clinic.  Current physicians in the group are nearing retirement and we are looking for physicians to move the practice into the next generation.  Current providers consist of two physicians, one nurse practitioner, and a physician assistant.  The clinic is equipped with in-house lab facilities and is connected to the hospital’s PACS system. 

Community is key to the clinic’s practice culture, offering expanded hours to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and some weekend hours available to meet the community’s need.  The practice lends itself to a quality of life for the providers and is family oriented.  The Clinic is a certified Rural Health Clinic and currently has affiliations with Oregon Health Sciences University and Pacific University for student rotations, and is an active member of the Oregon Rural Practice Research Network.

The selected candidate will provide high quality primary care services to patients of all ages.  An interest in caring for OB patients is welcome, but not necessary.  The physicians of St. Elizabeth Health Services offer a full spectrum of primary care services and are committed to providing quality health care to the service area.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right physician to join a growing team of Family Practice physicians and be part of the Saint Alphonsus Health System and St. Elizabeth Health Services.
