For Physicians

And, if you’re looking for a practice opportunity, look no further than Capella’s outstanding facilities. With us, you’ll have the opportunity to work with an experienced team of medical colleagues in a strong, well established practice… or in launching a new practice well-positioned to meet community needs… at a hospital that is backed by a nationally-respected company with access to significant financial and leadership resources.
Now more than ever, hospitals and physicians must have strong partnerships in place to be able to thrive and to continue improving care in the era of healthcare reform. With Capella as your partner, your practice will benefit from our solid business strategy, not just in the words we use to describe it, but in how we successfully execute it. Our five “pillars” of our success include an unwavering commitment to:
- Quality – Providing the tools and training that helps our caregivers follow best practices while also exceeding customer expectations.
- Physicians – Strengthening our relationships with physicians, recruiting strategically to meet community needs, and partnering to align incentives.
- People – Empowering those who deliver the care and those who lead the people and processes.
- Growth – Providing the resources that enable our hospitals to purchase the newest technologies, add services and recruit physicians to broaden the scope and quality of care.
- Financial – Our de-centralized operations model allows our local leaders to do what they do best, while relying on corporate staff for resources that enable us to leverage our size to create efficiencies.
Capella’s hospitals are located throughout the country in a variety of geographical settings, from the hills of Tennessee and the rolling countryside of Oklahoma to the mountains and hardwood forests of Washington state. In addition, our hospitals provide competitive recruitment packages that include, based on local market conditions, the following:
- Assistance with practice set-up, including income guarantees for a period of up to two years and consulting resources to organize an office practice
- For some specialties, Capella offers attractive physician employment opportunities, freeing physicians from the administrative issues related to practice management
- In certain cases, we are able to help a newly recruited physician join an existing group practice by assisting that practice with your entry as a new physician
