Join Augusta Health as a founding geriatrician shaping the future of elderly care in Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley. This isn't volume-driven medicine – it's relationship-based care across eight assisted living facilities with just 5-10 patients daily, a four-day work week, and 1:10 call schedule. Partner with Mayo Clinic resources while building the region's first PACE facility. Dr. Kokanovich specifically notes the absence of burnout here, crediting varied cases and genuine patient bonds. Shape comprehensive geriatric care while actually enjoying medicine again.

Physicians access Mayo Clinic's knowledge resources including AskMayoExpert, eConsults, and eBoards, elevating care quality without sacrificing the genuine community hospital culture where 25-year employees still know everyone by name.
