Family Medicine-Johnson Memorial Health: 2323
Overview
Johnson Memorial Health, Franklin, Indiana, is expanding its Physician Network by increasing its panel of Family Medicine specialists.
This recruitment is in response to the growing demand for primary care services in family medicine and the hospitals overall growth strategy. The increased demand will be more critical as the hospital responds to community needs under future health care reform and Johnson Memorial Health expands its coverage in northern Johnson County.
Through the hospital & clinical collaboration with Community Health Network in Indianapolis, JMH is a joint partner in a large outpatient health pavilion that opened in September of 2013 in northern Johnson County. This too creates an additional opportunity to expand access to Family Medicine services for a portion of the county that previously has had limited convenient access to services.
The physician selected will join the seven-member Family Physicians of Johnson County (FPJC) group practice. FPJC physicians are all employees of Johnson Memorial Health and the group is a member of the Johnson Memorial Physician Network. The group is anchored by several long-term and experienced physicians, but also includes a newer generation of physicians who have enjoyed significant success in their practices. The practice has also begun adding Nurse Practitioners to further improve its response to growing demands for primary care access. FPJC enjoys a strong community presence and reputation in the JMH Service Area.
Any physician joining the group will enjoy the assurance of knowing they are associating with a highly respected and experienced group of colleagues, in a practice that enjoys strong community support and trust.
Call rotation will be very limited (at least 1:8) which typically will require phone availability only. The hospital has a fully operational 24/7 hospitalist program to cover all inpatient needs. This allows each physician to maintain their focus on the care and service of their office-based patients.
