In La Grande, you'll have experienced colleagues available to collaborate, answer questions, share perspectives, and help you develop your own style of practice. You'll also have dedicated clinical support so you can spend more of your time focused on what brought you into medicine in the first place: caring for patients.

For an experienced PA, it's a chance to practice with autonomy while becoming part of a respectful, inclusive team where your experience and voice are valued. <h2>Why Praxis Health?</h2> Praxis Health is an independent, provider-led healthcare organization serving communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. We believe exceptional healthcare starts with strong relationships—between patients and their providers, and among the people who care for them. We work to give providers the autonomy to practice medicine thoughtfully while surrounding them with the clinical and operational support they need to build sustainable, rewarding careers. Our goal isn't simply to fill positions. It's to find providers who want to become part of their practice, their team, and their community. <h2>Life in La Grande</h2> Tucked into Oregon's beautiful Grande Ronde Valley, La Grande combines the warmth and connection of a small community with extraordinary access to the outdoors. Mountains, forests, rivers, and wide-open spaces surround the community, with hiking, skiing, camping, fishing, mountain biking, and countless opportunities to explore just minutes away. Eastern Oregon University brings additional energy to the area, while locally owned restaurants, shops, and community events give La Grande a character all its own. It's a place where you can know your neighbors, build meaningful relationships with your patients, spend less time commuting, and have more room for life outside of work. For a PA drawn to rural medicine, community connection, and a practice where you can truly make a difference, La Grande offers an exceptional place to build both a career and a life. Come build a practice—and a career—you can feel good about. <h2>Minimum Qualifications</h2> <ul data-spread="false"> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Graduate of an accredited Physician Assistant program</li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Current PA certification</li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Current Oregon license or ability to obtain Oregon licensure</li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Experienced PAs and new graduates are encouraged to apply</li> </ul> General Physical Requirements <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">While performing the duties of this Job, the employee is regularly required to stand; walk; use hands to finger, handle, or feel; reach with hands and arms and talk or hear.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The employee is occasionally required to sit and stoop, kneel, crouch.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The employee must regularly lift and /or move up to 10 pounds, frequently lift and/or move up to 25 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Work Environment: Combination of medical office and exam/procedure room settings.</li> </ul> OSHA Category This position performs tasks that involve exposure to blood, body fluids and/or tissues.
