If you’re a physician looking for a place with a passion for quality, a strong sense of mission and the goal of providing excellent patient care, Walla Walla General Hospital might be for you. We have numerous opportunities, and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you.

Physicians and staff who choose to work here are constantly working to raise the bar on quality. For years, our approach to quality improvement has been to make it the responsibility of every employee—not just the management. This has resulted in improved systems and protocols that impact care.

Our Emergency Center, for example, deploys the most advanced treatments for responding to heart attack and stroke patients—following protocols that improve the chance for survival and minimize long-term damage. Our Imaging Department consistently pursues the newest technologies used in diagnosis. Throughout the hospital, teams work together to identify and implement the best practices for their discipline.

This relentless insistence on quality has resulted in recognition from outside our organization—as well as internally. In our most recent quality survey conducted by the Joint Commission on Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations, we received the highest scores in our history—a testimony to our commitment to quality.

If you are looking to move to Walla Walla, we are interested in talking to all physicians, regardless of specialty. See below for a list of the positions we are specifically seeking to fill at this time.
