Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Leading Family Medicine Care in Ohio's Amish Country

As you walk through the doors of Pomerene Hospital's family medicine clinics, you'll discover a practice setting that brings together the best of rural medicine with the stability and resources of an established healthcare system. This full-time Family Medicine position offers you the opportunity to practice comprehensive primary care across all age groups while serving a unique and deeply appreciative patient population in Holmes County, Ohio. Unlike high-pressure urban practices where patient volume often compromises quality time, or isolated rural settings where you might feel professionally disconnected, this role provides the perfect balance – meaningful patient relationships with robust clinical support and professional development opportunities.

Your practice will serve the distinctive communities of Holmes County, where nearly 40% of the world's Amish population resides, creating a patient base that values long-term relationships, family-centered care, and the kind of thorough, unhurried medical attention that drew many physicians to family medicine in the first place. You'll find yourself caring for multi-generational families who specifically seek out single-provider continuity, allowing you to develop the deep, lasting relationships that make family medicine so professionally rewarding.

The service area encompasses Holmes County and surrounding regions, where your expertise will fill a critical need for comprehensive family medicine services. Many patients travel significant distances to receive care at Pomerene Hospital's clinics, underscoring the essential role you'll play in this community's healthcare landscape. This is particularly meaningful given the area's HPSA (Health Professional Shortage Area) designation, where your presence directly addresses documented healthcare access gaps.

  • Primary practice locations in Millersburg (main site) and Berlin, with remote supervisory responsibilities for midlevel providers in Loudonville
  • Board certification in Family Medicine required (MD or DO), with new graduates welcome for physicians who can practice autonomously
  • Full-spectrum family medicine from pediatrics through geriatrics, including prenatal care and chronic disease management
  • Leadership opportunity supervising four nurse practitioners and physician assistants while maintaining direct patient care
  • Flexible scheduling with standard hours ending at 4:30 PM and potential for four-day work week arrangements
  • No inpatient or in-house call responsibilities, allowing you to focus entirely on outpatient excellence and work-life balance

This position represents a unique opportunity to join an established practice experiencing steady growth due to increasing community demand. Rather than replacing a departing physician, you'll be adding capacity to ensure continued excellent care while maintaining the personalized attention that defines this practice. The role combines the professional satisfaction of comprehensive family medicine with the practical benefits of team-based care and organizational support, creating an environment where you can thrive both clinically and personally.
