Prairie Lakes Healthcare System is currently looking for two motivated and self-directed Cardiologists to join our active medical staff in Watertown, South Dakota.

These Cardiology physicians have many options in Watertown regarding their practice opportunities. Two clinics, both with great medical staff, as well as a new medical office building adjacent to Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, all serve as practice location options.

The Cardiologists that are engaged in this endeavor will be at the helm in creating the Cardiology program in Watertown. Information regarding equipment, staffing and other issues will be made by the Prairie Lakes Healthcare administration with prominent input from the cardiologists.

Our compensation package is very flexible and can be tailored to the individual physician depending on his/her financial needs. An income guarantee agreement for one year, a loan forgiveness agreement (period of years is reflective of the dollar amount), and/ or a student loan repayment agreement are all options for this financial package. Regardless of the type of arrangement, Prairie Lakes Healthcare System is competitive with similar markets of this size.

Market position is another huge advantage the cardiologists will benefit from. Currently, the market for cardiology patients is here. The competition for these patients is about a 100-mile radius. A marketing plan will be developed by the Marketing Department at Prairie Lakes Healthcare System to ensure proper exposure is reached and maintained.

Prairie Lakes Healthcare System serves seven counties in northeastern South Dakota, providing a network of care throughout the region. Partnerships with medical facilities, community businesses and educational institutions make Prairie Lakes the area's healthcare provider of choice.

Prairie Lakes is also an employer of choice. With a staff of more than 500 people, Prairie Lakes Healthcare System is one of the largest employers in Watertown. We're dedicated not only to attracting the most skilled healthcare professionals, we're also committed to challenging, training and retaining them.

Established in 1986, as a result of a cooperative effort to consolidate two existing Watertown hospitals, Prairie Lakes Healthcare System has evolved into a regional healthcare center. At the heart of this organization is Prairie Lakes Hospital, an 81-bed, non-denominational healthcare facility.
