We have a collegial work environment which promotes strong working relationships amongst our entire team. Some of our team have worked within the hospital for 30+ years. We value the importance of work-life balance and continue to implement changes to strengthen that balance. This position would complement the two full-time physician assistants we have currently at our Danville emergency department but includes the possibility of flexing to our smaller department located in Brownsburg, IN.
