The facility is seeking locum tenens coverage due to a staffing vacancy, as the employed physician is departing and a new permanent hire has not yet been assigned a start date. The clinical team includes NP support across both inpatient and clinic settings, and credentialing typically requires 60 days, with temporary privileges available. About the Facility Location Eastern Kentucky offers clinicians on assignment a range of outdoor and natural attractions suited to varied interests. The region provides access to scenic trails, limestone caverns, and wildlife-rich forests, as well as notable destinations such as Breaks Interstate Park and the rugged terrain of Pine Mountain. Historical and cultural experiences, including exhibition coal mine tours and specialty museums, complement family-friendly activities available throughout the area.
