Psychiatry - Geriatric

During these challenging days with the COVID-19 pandemic, Great River Health is proud to be on strong financial footing.  From day one, we have had a plan to continue to pay our nurse practitioners 100% of their compensation, even though many of them aren't able to continue to work full time for varying reasons.  This is just another reason why our medical staff is proud to be a part of Great River Health.... stability in practice, stability in finance... and working with people who care. 

This is an exciting opportunity with Fort Madison Community Hospital and Great River Health to build one of the newest geriatric psychiatry units in the midwest!

This opportunity isn't in the middle of nowhere, its in the middle of everywhere in picturesque Fort Madison, IA!  Looking for excellent earning potential or a better work life balance??   You'll find it all here at FMCH!
