Gastroenterologist Physician - Baptist Health Fort Smith

Baptist Health Fort Smith (BHFS) is recruiting a Gastroenterologist. Currently, there is only one employed Gastroenterologist at BHFS, and the need for additional physicians is growth-related. The existing physician has been practicing for 14 years and is well established, busy, and highly respected by patients. A PA also works in the practice, seeing patients in the hospital and managing follow-up appointments. The clinic is located on the BHFS campus. This is an employed opportunity with flexible arrangements, allowing the new physician to join the existing provider or establish a new practice and share call. Given BHFS has only one Gastroenterologist, there is significant opportunity for a new physician to quickly build a busy practice.

Baptist Health Fort Smith is a 492-bed hospital with an emergency department, intensive care unit, outpatient imaging, and surgery center. It offers a wide range of specialties including cardiology, neuro-interventional radiology, orthopedics, pediatrics, and geriatrics. The facility is accredited by the Joint Commission and recognized for exceptional stroke and heart care by national agencies. The system also includes a 103-bed hospital in Van Buren and over 40 clinic locations. Baptist Health employs nearly 100 providers in Western Arkansas and collaborates with independent and contracted physicians to deliver quality care. Baptist Health-Fort Smith, formerly Sparks Regional Medical Center, was built in 1887 and is Arkansas’s first hospital.

Located on the Arkansas River, Fort Smith is the third-largest city in Arkansas, home to approximately 90,000 residents. The city offers unique dining and shopping experiences, as well as rich history and art. The Fort Smith National Historic Site highlights the town’s origins as a frontier military post, along with other historic sites and museums attracting visitors from across the country.
