About Rural Physicians Group  

Rural Physicians Group exists to keep quality care close to home because We Keep Local Patients Local. For more than 20 years, weve 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. Were 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 whats possible for a rural hospital. When patients dont 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. Its a proven, effective solution to a complex problem facing more than 1,300 rural hospitals across the country and its 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.
