Eisenhower Health recognizes that attracting exceptional palliative care physicians requires a compensation package that reflects both the value you bring and the lifestyle you deserve. With total annual compensation potential ranging from $274,230 to $287,100, this package positions you competitively within the market while demonstrating the organization's commitment to supporting your professional success. The current palliative care physician generated approximately $334,000 in total compensation last year, proving the earning potential when combining base salary, performance bonuses, and RVU productivity.
The financial structure has been carefully designed to provide security, reward performance, and eliminate the productivity pressures that can compromise patient care quality. Your base salary ranges from $249,300 to $261,000 annually, providing the stability that allows for thoughtful patient care and professional development. This foundation is enhanced by a performance bonus structure that can add up to 10% of your base salary, with additional RVU compensation at $60 per unit above the 4,884 threshold. The bonus system rewards quality metrics and patient satisfaction rather than pure volume, ensuring that your financial success aligns with your clinical values and patient outcomes.
The sign-on bonus and relocation assistance demonstrate Eisenhower Health's commitment to making your transition as smooth as possible, recognizing that moving to a new community and starting a new position involves both financial and logistical considerations. This support extends beyond the initial relocation to include ongoing professional development opportunities and additional reimbursement for education-related activities, reflecting the organization's investment in your continued growth.
What sets this compensation package apart is its emphasis on long-term partnership rather than short-term productivity. The RVU threshold of 4,884 is reasonable and achievable, as demonstrated by the current physician who generated over 6,100 RVUs in his recent year, resulting in total compensation of approximately $334,000. This performance level was achieved while maintaining the program's commitment to quality care and work-life balance, proving that financial success and professional satisfaction can coexist.
The benefits extend beyond traditional compensation to include the intangible but valuable perquisites of practicing in one of the most desirable locations in the country. Your compensation goes further in the Coachella Valley than in many metropolitan areas, while the lifestyle advantages – year-round sunshine, world-class recreation, and vibrant cultural scene – provide benefits that can't be quantified in salary alone.
This comprehensive package reflects Eisenhower Health's understanding that exceptional physicians deserve exceptional support, both financially and professionally. You'll have the security to practice medicine the way it should be practiced, with the time and resources necessary to deliver the highest quality care while building a rewarding and sustainable career in one of America's most beautiful communities.
