Physician - Family & Occupational Health - Portsmouth, VA
About The Position
Marathon Health is hiring a full-time Physician for its Portsmouth, Virginia health center, which is planned to open in April 2027. The role will ultimately be based in Portsmouth, with the opportunity to begin earlier at the Newport News, Virginia location. The physician provides patient-centered primary care to employees through Marathon Health’s Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care model. This model features limited patient panels of 800–1,000, longer appointments, a focus on prevention and health outcomes, and fewer insurance-related administrative tasks. The physician provides full-spectrum primary care and occupational health services. Occupational health work includes physicals and fitness evaluations, testing and screening, work injury and exposure care, stay-at-work coordination, work restriction recommendations, referral management, and regulatory and workers’ compensation reporting. The physician also collaborates with at least two Advanced Practice Providers and participates in an interdisciplinary care team. The position offers non-production-based compensation and comprehensive benefits, including CME, medical license, DEA, and malpractice coverage. Regular provider meetings, such as journal clubs and grand rounds, support ongoing learning, development, and collaboration.
