About The Position

Aurora Medical Group (AMG) is part of Advocate Health, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health systems. With more than 350 locations across Illinois and Wisconsin, AMG offers a wide range of specialties and services, including primary care, medical and surgical care, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, and more. Our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional care and improving health outcomes in the communities we serve. Joining AMG means being part of a collaborative, patient-focused environment where innovation and quality care thrive. The Aurora Family Medicine clinic at Rivercenter Drive is a full-service primary care practice offering preventive, acute, and chronic care for patients of all ages, with strong integration into a broader specialty and hospital network for coordinated, whole-person care. This clinic functions as a “first point of contact” in the healthcare system, providing care for children, adults, and seniors. Providers are trained in general medicine and manage a wide range of everyday health needs. A big part of the clinic’s role is keeping patients healthy through annual physicals and wellness visits, immunizations, screenings and early detection, and lifestyle counseling (diet, fitness). The clinic treats both short-term illnesses (e.g., infections, minor injuries) and long-term conditions like diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and hypertension. Because it’s inside a large Aurora Health Center, the clinic can easily refer patients to specialists, coordinate care across multiple services, and provide access to on-site labs, imaging, urgent care, and specialty clinics. Family medicine providers typically build long-term relationships with patients, managing their health over time and across different needs, from pediatric visits to geriatric care. In addition to general medical care, services often include behavioral/mental health support, well-child visits and school physicals, women’s health basics (in coordination with OB/GYN), and minor joint, skin, and common condition treatment. Your feedback matters. Every teammate’s voice is vital in shaping our culture and improving care. We value your insights and experiences because they help us grow stronger together.
