Your compensation at Good Shepherd Medical Center reflects the value placed on experienced urgent care providers in this region. The base rate of $100 to $105 per hour translates to strong annual earnings, particularly when combined with a benefits package that covers your major expenses. With 10 to 12 shifts per month at 12-hour days, you can expect annual compensation in the range of $150,000 to $189,000 before any additional shifts or incentives. A sign-on bonus and relocation assistance sweeten the offer for providers making the move to Hermiston.
The time-off structure stands out among urgent care positions. Six weeks of PTO (256 hours) gives you genuine flexibility for vacations, family commitments, and personal time. Combined with the predictable daytime schedule and no call responsibilities, this position supports a work-life balance that many APPs struggle to find elsewhere. Your CME allowance of $3,000 with 40 hours of dedicated time ensures you can maintain certifications and pursue professional development without personal expense.

The occurrence-based malpractice coverage deserves attention. Unlike claims-made policies that require you to purchase tail coverage when changing employers, occurrence policies cover any incident that occurs during your employment regardless of when a claim is filed. Good Shepherd has committed to purchasing tail coverage if they ever transition to a claims-made policy, protecting you from this potential future expense.
