A tertiary care center in the Midwest is recruiting a general neurosurgeon. This 327-bed hospital features state-of-the-art equipment. Although it is a Level II Trauma Center, the trauma burden is minimal. The administration is passionate about patient care and very supportive of the physicians, which makes the hospital a great environment to practice. Physicians and patients alike benefit from a stable OR team who have been there for 20 years+ and have minimal nurse turnover. The new neurosurgeon will join an experienced neurosurgeon that is eager to mentor new grads. New grads and experienced candidates are both invited to apply. This hospital offers a great work-life balance.

The hospital system is an integrated health system of three hospitals and is the largest and most advanced center in a 100-mile radius. They offer a Level II Trauma Center for the region with state-of-the-art facilities, and it serves as a Primary Stroke Center.
