THE OPPORTUNITY
Living Water Clinic is expanding its women’s health team, with capacity to welcome two (2) to four (4) full-time OB/GYN physicians over the next 18 to 24 months. Our vision includes certified nurse-midwife support and future physician assistant integration.
The immediate opportunity includes succeeding our current OB/GYN, who is transitioning to a reduced practice schedule. An incoming physician will have the opportunity to build on their experience and qualifications while developing strong relationships within the local communities, supported by existing hospital relationships and a functioning clinical workflow. Hospital privileges are subject to individual credentialing and approval.
Our Rural Health Clinics serve historically underserved agricultural communities, while our private and PPO-participating clinics provide opportunities to work with a broader payer mix.
For physicians interested in teaching, our vision includes a family medicine residency program with women’s health as a core rotation. The first class is targeted for fall 2027, subject to accreditation and program readiness.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base compensation: $500,000 to $650,000+ annually. Compensation may reach $700,000+ for candidates with subspecialty training, an interest in leadership, or established local patient panels.
The final package depends on the agreed role and engagement structure. Benefits and retirement participation are subject to applicable plan and eligibility requirements and may differ between employees and independent contractors.
