Step into a role where your expertise will make an immediate and lasting impact on both patients and the broader healthcare community. As the second Palliative Care physician to join Eisenhower Health's rapidly expanding program, you'll help shape and develop a service that has already proven its value and is experiencing remarkable growth. Unlike established programs where protocols are rigid or solo practices where you're building from scratch, this opportunity offers the perfect balance – joining a proven foundation while having the flexibility to influence the program's evolution.
Your practice will span the beautiful Coachella Valley region of southeastern California, serving communities including Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, La Quinta, and Palm Desert. This growing region has demonstrated a clear need for palliative care services, with the current program seeing over 50 inpatient consults monthly and steady outpatient growth. You'll be filling a vital healthcare gap for patients who would otherwise need to travel significant distances for specialized palliative care, making your role essential to the community's wellbeing.
The Coachella Valley's growing population and Eisenhower's reputation as the region's premier healthcare destination ensure a steady referral base, primarily from the busy hematology/oncology service that sees 200-250 new patient referrals monthly. Your role will focus approximately 60-70% on inpatient care with 30-40% outpatient services, though this balance offers flexibility based on your interests and the program's evolving needs.
This is more than just a job opportunity – it's a chance to make a meaningful difference in a growing community while building upon an already successful foundation. You'll enjoy the rare combination of professional growth, work-life balance, and the exceptional lifestyle that makes the Coachella Valley one of the most desirable places to practice medicine in the country.
Eisenhower Medical Associates is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Allergist/Immunologist to join a full-service Allergy and Immunology practice in Rancho Mirage, California. The clinic sits within an integrated health system, serves a large Coachella Valley catchment area with few competing allergists, and has grown steadily over the last three years. You would step into an established patient base with a built-in referral network rather than building a panel from scratch.
This is a replacement opportunity created by a departing physician whose last day is September 4. Because most Eisenhower patients prefer to keep their care inside the system, a large share of the departing physician's panel is expected to remain with the clinic. You can take on much of that established volume from day one or build fresh, depending on the timing of your start.
