About Rural Physicians GroupRural Physicians Group exists to keep quality care close to home because We Keep Local Patients Local . For more than 20 years, we ve partnered with critical access and community hospitals as a dedicated service-line management organization, placing full-time, on-site physicians, surgeons, and advanced practice providers who become a true part of the communities they serve. We re not a stopgap or a rotating locums fix we build lasting clinical teams that give rural hospitals the continuity and confidence to care for more patients, closer to home.
Our model changes what s possible for a rural hospital. When patients don t have to be transferred hours away, outcomes improve and trust grows. Better outcomes lead to expanded services, expanded services revitalize the hospital, and a revitalized hospital strengthens the entire community. It s a proven, effective solution to a complex problem facing more than 1,300 rural hospitals across the country and it s the way rural medicine should be.
Our providers share a passion for rural medicine and a commitment to our ICARE values Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Reliability, and Excellence. In return, they practice a broad scope with real autonomy, backed by a team that supports them at every turn, so they can focus on what matters most: caring for their neighbors and helping their hospital thrive.
