Job Description
Join our collaborative General Surgery team at Centra Health, serving patients across Bedford Memorial Hospital and Lynchburg General Hospital. Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) play a vital role in patient care—managing both new and established visits, rounding in the hospital, and supporting surgical patients throughout their continuum of care. APPs work closely with physicians and are supported by dedicated nursing staff, fostering efficiency, continuity of care, and strong patient relationships. At Bedford Memorial Hospital, we're proud of our warm culture and family-friendly community. Meanwhile, Lynchburg General Hospital provides a dynamic, fast-paced surgical environment where APPs gain exposure to a wide variety of cases and collaborate with a broad range of specialties. Together, these settings offer a balanced and rewarding practice. Centra Medical Group (CMG) is a comprehensive network of nearly 600 employed providers within Centra Health. Centra Health services a population of 600,000 community members with 70 different outpatient and specialty practices.
