A Place to Grow as a Provider

We believe the environment where you begin, or continue, your career matters.

At Praxis Health, provider autonomy doesn't mean practicing in isolation. In La Grande, you'll have experienced colleagues available to collaborate, answer questions, share perspectives, and help you develop your own style of practice. You'll also have dedicated clinical support so you can spend more of your time focused on what brought you into medicine in the first place: caring for patients.

For an experienced PA, it's a chance to practice with autonomy while becoming part of a respectful, inclusive team where your experience and voice are valued.

Why Praxis Health?

Praxis Health is an independent, provider-led healthcare organization serving communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. We believe exceptional healthcare starts with strong relationships—between patients and their providers, and among the people who care for them. We work to give providers the autonomy to practice medicine thoughtfully while surrounding them with the clinical and operational support they need to build sustainable, rewarding careers. Our goal isn't simply to fill positions. It's to find providers who want to become part of their practice, their team, and their community.

Life in La Grande

Tucked into Oregon's beautiful Grande Ronde Valley, La Grande combines the warmth and connection of a small community with extraordinary access to the outdoors.

Mountains, forests, rivers, and wide-open spaces surround the community, with hiking, skiing, camping, fishing, mountain biking, and countless opportunities to explore just minutes away. Eastern Oregon University brings additional energy to the area, while locally owned restaurants, shops, and community events give La Grande a character all its own.

It's a place where you can know your neighbors, build meaningful relationships with your patients, spend less time commuting, and have more room for life outside of work.

For a PA drawn to rural medicine, community connection, and a practice where you can truly make a difference, La Grande offers an exceptional place to build both a career and a life.

Come build a practice—and a career—you can feel good about.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
