Comfortable practice opportunity in the beautiful high desert of southern AZ. These small, historic communities are surrounded by mountains, grasslands, riparian areas, and sky islands which provide excellent hiking, hunting, and birdwatching, as well as a vibrant community.

Bisbee is home to our primary, 9-bed ED. This is attached to our main hospital which currently offers 14 medical surgical inpatient beds and basic admitting capabilities. Douglas is a freestanding 9-bed ED, located just 25 minutes from Bisbee, with admitting capabilities through the hospital in Bisbee. Both are progressive, critical access facilities with Stroke Ready and Pediatric Prepared designations. Telestroke coverage is provided through Mayo clinic.
