About the Opportunity

WHGH is seeking 2-3 hospitalists to support the 23-bed inpatient unit. The ideal candidate would be available to start as soon as July 2026, and those with both long-term and short-term availability are encouraged to apply. Candidates with availability beyond the summer of 2026 are also encouraged to apply for future consideration.

Successful candidates will provide 24/7 on-call coverage for 1-week rotations running from Monday to Monday or Friday to Friday and will have the option to provide backup coverage to the Emergency Department if desired (although not required). Admitted patients will be transferred to the incoming hospitalist at the end of each rotation, and additional shifts may be available if desired. WHGH offers physicians a sleep room on-site as well as off-site accommodations approximately 20-25 mins away if needed.

The position offers competitive remuneration via FFS with a guaranteed weekly minimum of $7000 in billings plus HOCC stipend, and additional incentives for any (optional) ED coverage provided.

This is competitive and lucrative opportunity located in a rural setting, but only a short drive from the city.

Previous in-patient hospitalist experience is preferred, and candidates who choose to provide backup coverage to the ED are required to hold ACLS, and ATLS and PALS certifications.
