Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Good Shepherd Medical Center is recruiting a full-time OB/GYN to join its established Women's Center in Hermiston, Oregon. This is a hospital-employed position with a balanced mix of obstetrics and gynecology, supported by an experienced surgical and clinical team. The Women's Center has strong community demand and is in a period of continued growth, with recent facility expansion and rising delivery and surgical volumes.

Good Shepherd is an independent, community-owned health system. It operates without a large corporate parent, which allows local leadership to make decisions and adjust practice operations without waiting on outside approval. The organization carries 400+ days cash on hand.

Why This Role Exists

The Women's Center is growing. Delivery and surgical volumes have increased significantly over the past year and a half, and the team recently added new providers. This position adds capacity to meet rising patient demand and to continue building the OB/GYN service line.
