About Rogers Behavioral Health

Rogers Behavioral Health is a not‑for‑profit behavioral health system with a long history. For over 100 years we have been providing top quality psychiatric services to our patients and performing cutting‑edge research; we are one of the leading healthcare providers in our field. RBH offers adults, child and adolescent patients the ability to receive care at multiple levels of services, including inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient.

The three primary hospitals are located in Wisconsin, and numerous clinics are spread coast‑to‑coast throughout Wisconsin and nine other states, including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington.

PRN physicians may include individuals who are working elsewhere in the community and have an interest in supporting RBH on the weekends or as part‑time coverage, or are moonlighting residents in their third year of residency or higher.

Physician will work in one or more levels of care, in both live and virtual environments, as well as support patient admissions, protocol development, quality assurance and peer review evaluations.
