We offer very competitive compensation and benefits. With a low turnover rate, our team currently includes physicians at all stages of their careers who maintain strong ties within our lakeshore community. We are strongly supported and heard by our leadership, with EM docs at all levels of Essentia’s leadership structure. We hope you consider joining our Essentia Health family – we are ready to have you aboard.
