Specialty Hospitalist
Profession Physician

There’s no such thing as a perfect job—but there are jobs that people truly love. And at Great River Health, our Hospitalist team loves working here. Why?

  • A true family atmosphere among Hospitalists—teamwork and camaraderie matter here.
  • World-class care—our team is dedicated to excellence.
  • Big enough to have diverse pathology, small enough for no local competition.
  • A supportive, open-door administration that values your voice.
  • A welcoming, family-friendly community with top-tier schools.

Why This is the Opportunity You’ve Been Waiting For:

  • $378,000+ annual base pay PLUS $15k in bonus money, $5k per year in CME money and a $60,000 commencement bonus and $15k for relocation available 90 days prior to start
  • Work 168 shifts, not the normal 182 shifts... that's like having two extra weeks off compared to most other jobs. 
  • Nocturnist work with admitter support for part of the evening hours and tele-hospitalist support for most of the shift.  You are there primarily to admit and round on sicker patients... not answer nursing calls all night.   
  • A 380-bed, independent, and financially stable health system
  • Team-based compensation model—you’re on equal footing with partners from day one
  • 24/7 board-certified EM physicians staffing the ER for seamless care coordination
  • Open ICU with PulmCC support (and no ICU at smaller campus)
  • ED is right down the hall for easy access to admissions
  • Big enough to have most specialists for consult support, but small enough that there is only one group of each!
  • Average 8-10 admits per night.

A Community You’ll Love to Call Home

  • Live the way you want! Choose from prestigious gated communities, golf course living, or spacious acreage to build your dream home.
  • Top-ranked public and private schools—a fantastic place to raise a family.
  • Scenic riverfront town with 11 parks, a water park, and waterfront recreation.
  • Two of Iowa’s top 10 golf courses and a country club with tennis, pool, and fitness center.
  • Big-city convenience in a suburban setting: Target, Starbucks, Panera, Chick Fil A, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kohl’s, and 25+ local independent restaurants.
  • Easy access to major cities: 1-hour to Iowa City, direct daily jet service to Chicago, and Amtrak to Chicago.
  • 22% lower cost of living than the national average—your dollar goes further here!

This is not just another job—it’s a chance to build the career and lifestyle you’ve always wanted. If you’re looking for stability, autonomy, and a team that truly values its Hospitalists, this is the place for you.
