Seeking an additional Endocrinologist to its 300 provider group, because of the documented difficulty by primary care physicians and case managers in our community in getting their patients particularly diabetics in to see an endocrinologist in a timely fashion. The group currently has one endocrinologist, but he will be relocating soon due to family reasons. There is one endocrinologists in the community with another group, and 4 total in the market area, which compares to a recommended level of 5.4 to serve a population our size. With more than 60 primary care providers within Health System providing referrals along with several case managers, the potential for a well-trained specialist with good communication and patient satisfaction skills to build a robust practice is extremely high. Health System has a comprehensive Diabetes Clinic which offers additional consultation opportunities for an Endocrinologist.
