The members of our medical staff love it here—and for good reason! Some love the flexible schedules that let them travel the world. Others rave about the AMAZING onsite gym just steps from their office. Many appreciate working in a thriving, independent health system with no local competition but big enough to have nearly every specialty. Some enjoy the beauty of all four seasons, while others love the charm of living along the Mighty Mississippi River.
And almost ALL of them love the incredible work-life balance, the supportive administration, and the tight-knit, family-friendly community.
Oh, and let’s not forget—we paid ALL of our medical staff 100% throughout the COVID pandemic. Financial security? We’ve got it.
