About The Position

Newport Hospital & Health Services (NHHS) is searching for a Board Eligible/Certified Family Practice Physician Assistant interested in joining an integrated, full-spectrum family practice, in a uniquely situated rural community. This role will provide care in our rural health clinic for Express Care appointments as well as providing care in our emergency room in the hospital setting. A competitive salary and benefit package includes potential for loan repayment (State and Federal options). The NHHS group consists of 4 FP w/OB providers (four in rotation), 2 general surgeons, 5 physician assistants, a procedural based OB/Gyn., orthopedic surgeon, and a core of 4 ED providers (also FP trained). NHHSs medical staff provides full spectrum rural medicine (birth to end-of-life) working as a clinical team. Our clinic currently uses EPIC and has established a secure fiber optic, physician network accessible to the physicians homes. The network allows for 24 hour access to clinic and hospital patient records. NHHS has been recognized as one of Hospital & Health Networks, Most Wired Hospitals on multiple occasions. As with most rural locations, NHHS cares for a significant population qualifying for Medicare/ Medicaid coverage (approximately 65% of our services). We are committed to ensure residents have full access to care in their home community, both primary and specialty care. We believe our model allows physicians to focus on the practice of medicine and clinical oversight and leaves insurance contracting, service billing, regulatory oversight and staff management to NHHSs managers and leadership team with MD directorships.
