Specialty: Orthopedic Surgery Physician Assistant
Location: Coos Bay, OR 97420

Facility Snapshot
Join a well-regarded medical center serving Oregon’s South Coast—a non-profit hospital system offering Level III trauma care, comprehensive surgical, medical, and diagnostic services, and deep ties to the local community.
