About The Position

At Legacy, we are committed to making life better for others. We not only provide state-of-the-art care; we also provide compassion and a tireless desire to secure the wellbeing of our patients. If this is how you view your work as an OB/GYN, we invite you to consider joining our community. The Supplemental OB Hospitalist positions are designed to support the established groups of OB Hospitalists located at Legacy Mt. Hood Medical Center. There are additional opportunities for coverage throughout the Legacy system surrounding areas (Legacy Silverton Medical Center, Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center). At the primary site(s), the OB Hospitalists support the inpatient needs of the Legacy Medical Group (LMG) Maternal Fetal Medicine service and function as perinatal extenders. The OB Hospitalists and the MFM providers work closely together on a daily basis, and the MFM practice has 24/7 (not in-house) coverage available. The OB Hospitalist also provides backup to the LMG Midwifery Practice (all CNMs), coverage for unassigned labor/triage patients, support of our private practice OB/GYN colleagues as needed and provide variable coverage for Emergency Department gynecologic consults and emergencies (miscarriage, ovarian torsion, ectopic pregnancy, etc). Both locations have Level IV NICUs and serve a vital role in the surrounding communities for high-risk pregnancies. Dedicated in-house Anesthesia is present 24/7 at both sites. No clinic responsibilities.
