Atrium Health Seeking Acute Care Surgery Physician- Atrium Heath Stanly-Albemarle, NC

If it’s possible, you will find it at Atrium Health the leading community-focused academic healthcare system serving North Carolina and South Carolina.

We invite Board Eligible / Board Certified General Surgery Physicians to discover all that we can do when we bring healing hearts, inquisitive minds and progressive visionaries together in our Atrium Health Stanly practice.

Atrium Health / Advocate is an innovative healthcare organization committed to providing health, hope and healing for our communities.

We are committed to Being the Best Place for Care for patients, and the Best Place to Care for our healthcare workforce and teammates.

Small and rural communities face uniques challenges in providing access to highest quality, coordinated and collaborative care close to home for patients.

General Surgery represents an essential service to all of our acute inpatient facilities. Our mission requires that we find innovative solutions to the challenges of surgical care at small community hospitals.

These solutions must advance quality, optimize the care at the local facility and facilitate coordination of care when specialists or tertiary level of care is required.

Over the past two years, the AHMG Surgery Care Division has created solutions to historical decline in general surgical volume at Stanly.

During that time, with a coordinated effort among the teams at AH Cabarrus and AH Stanly, we have seen growth of AH Stanly general surgical case volumes by 40%.

Atrium is committed to advancing multiple service lines in this rural community and future opportunities exist at AH Stanly to develop a rural training pathway for residents and APPs from multiple service lines.

We are seeking clinical leaders who are interested advancing this mission.

Atrium Health is recruiting a BC / BE general surgeon interested in emergency general surgery to join our team at AH Stanly in Albemarle, NC, a 100 bed acute care hospital.

The surgeon will play a vital role in elevating the care of urgent and emergent general surgical patients at the facility.

This surgeon will cover urgent / emergent general surgical needs and partner with two established Atrium Health general surgeons who participate in call coverage in addition to elective practice.

The surgeon will work 7days on / 7days off schedule, with competitive salary, benefits and bonus structure. There will be some limited clinic coverage during the work weeks, primarily for urgent needs and hospital followups.

AH Cabarrus is a 457 bed level III trauma center 35-40min to the west of Stanly, and there are established pathways of collaboration between the teams at both locations.

Surgeons at Stanly have the benefit of coordination of care with specialists such as interventional radiology, HPB, bariatrics, plastic surgery, colorectal, gyn onc and others at AH Cabarrus.

Atrium Health is also committed to the professional development of surgeons. Through the AH Acute Care Surgery Network, all surgeons providing care of the EGS / trauma / Surgical Critical Care patient have the opportunity to participate in a monthly call, research and education opportunities and specific projects to advance the care or urgent general surgical patients across the system.

Leadership structures align community surgeons with mentors locally and across the region, and facilitate pathways to impact positive change.

In addition, the AH Medical Group is renowned for its advanced programs around physician leadership development, physician well being and career development.

Stanly County is known for its rural communities, beautiful natural landscapes, farmland, forests and two nearby residential lakes (Badin and Tillery).

There are ample opportunities to enjoy the outdoors through a network of parks, water activities on the lakes, golf, hunting and fishing, and camping / hiking / mountain biking / atvs at the Uwharrie National Forest.
