Grow your practice here.

Lewis-Gale Medical Center is a 521-bed regional referral center located in the beautiful Roanoke Valley, the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We offer affiliation models that meet a wide range of physician practice preferences and lifestyles.

We respect the fact that not all physicians want the same kind of relationship with their healthcare system, and we're always willing to discuss options with you.

Choose the relationship you want.

We’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all affiliation model. Here your options include:
• Employment (solo, group or multidisciplinary )
• Medical staff privileges for independent practitioners
• Income assistance for eligible, relocating physicians
• Joint venture relationships (outpatient).

We welcome inquiries from physicians in all manner of circumstances including:

• Experienced physicians wishing to relocate from out of the area
• Local physicians seeking medical staff privileges
• Recent graduates finishing a residency or fellowship.
