Job description

Vernon Memorial Healthcare has an exciting opportunity for a full-time Family Medicine Physician to join our dedicated and compassionate team of physicians and providers and make an immediate impact in the thriving rural communities in the heart of the breathtaking Driftless Region of Southwest Wisconsin!

The Family Medicine Physician provides care in a comprehensive family practice to patients spanning all age groups, from newborn to geriatric. As a non-profit, provider-based system of rural health clinics, Vernon Memorial is committed to serving the needs of the community. Our family medicine physicians have endless opportunities to influence the future of rural healthcare while building meaningful and long-lasting relationships with patients, families, and the surrounding communities. Our collaborative and team-based clinic environment is focused on high-quality, patient-centered care, in support of an award-winning critical access hospital.

While based out of our clinic in Viroqua, Wisconsin, the Family Medicine Physician will have an opportunity to partner with our La Farge Medical Clinic, which is also home to the Center for Special Children, an essential service offered by only six clinics in the country, utilizing genetic testing to identify and treat rare conditions. While genetic research benefits the entire population, most of the afflicted children come from regional Amish and Mennonite communities. Scientific study has made our Center for Special Children program an outstanding medical resource, but the significant personal relationships developed between the VMH family medicine team and the Plain community cannot be underestimated when looking at what has been accomplished since the program began in 2015.

Employment as a Family Medicine Physician at VMH:

• Hospital Coverage Approximately 1:8 weeks
• Comprehensive benefit package, including health, dental, vision, life, malpractice, short-term and long-term disability insurances
• 401(k) retirement package with employer match

If you have a passion for family medicine and collaborative healthcare in rural health clinics, we want you to be part of our team!

Viroqua is located in the heart of Driftless Wisconsin, defined by the Mississippi River to the west and rolling landscapes of the glacial-formed Kickapoo Valley. An abundance of outdoor recreational activities, a vibrant and artsy culture, and eclectic eateries and performance venues make this region a hidden gem of the Midwest. Viroqua and its surrounding communities have excellent public and private schools, low cost of living, and thriving economies, making this a great place to work, live, and play!

Exceptional care. Close to home.

Vernon Memorial Healthcare has been caring for the Viroqua area, as an independent, non-profit organization, since 1951. Our Orthopedic and General Surgery Center has been named one of Healthgrades America's 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement.
