Family Medicine position on Southern Lake Michigan!!Family Medicine position on Southern Lake Michigan! City is a harbor town on southern Lake Michigan - about a half-hour west of Kalamazoo, MI. It is two hours to downtown Chicago around the lake. The community is a popular destination community for tourists within a large area as well as second-home owners.
The practice currently consists of one Family Medicine physician, two Pediatricians, and an experienced Physician Assistant. Due to increasing volume, we want to add another Family Medicine provider.
The only call is for Peds as we have Hospitalists who handle all adult inpatients, and we really do not hospitalize children very often in our smaller hospital setting - and then for quite simple things. This call would be 1 in 5, worked out with other providers.
This is a hospital-employed position, so it carries a full benefit package along with traditional perks. It is also an approved site for the National Health Service Corps, so one may apply for loan repayment assistance through them.
Community, Facility, and Organization
Hospital has been serving the health care and medical needs of area residents since 1907. Initially organized as a City Hospital, the facility was reorganized as an Authority Hospital in the 1960s, designated to serve the Cities and the surrounding Townships. Each of these political subdivisions appoints a representative to our Board of Trustees, and these nine Trustees then select up to seven members at large, which comprises the governing Board for the Hospital. The hospital boasts a 97% patient satisfaction rate and is in the top ten percent nationally for employee satisfaction!
Sun & sand – go for a swim! Located on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Black River, the City has plenty of sparkling water and sandy beaches to go around. The town offers a wide variety of activities year-round, but summer is when it really shines (literally). Beach fun, fishing, golfing, or shopping, the City has it all, including a deep water harbor.
A harbor that has a rich maritime history. But we aren't a "single-faceted town," City has agricultural roots too. So, whether you want to see tall ships or pick your own blueberries, our town is a must-see on any vacation "to do list." Visitors quickly see why we have been called "a gem among small American towns." Getting here is easy; the area is convenient to Chicago and Detroit off major freeways.
