Sun Health is seeking to assist a private General Surgery practice in the booming northwest Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

The only thing growing faster than Sun Health's services is the area we serve. The City of Surprise, for example, is the fastest growing community in the Phoenix metropolitan area, experiencing a 333 percent increase in population in the past decade. If, as expected, this rapid growth in the Northwest Valley continues, nearly 250,000 new residents will live in 70,000 new homes.

What does this mean to you? It's a fact that Sun Health traditionally captures 80 percent of that market share, and that means outstanding opportunities for physicians in every specialty.

Physicians at Sun Health have the freedom they need to manage change and the support they need to grow and maintain successful practices. We're acutely aware that our success depends on your success. This is a place where you can put the right combination of resources to work and watch your practice grow.

Starting a new practice or relocating your existing one can be a daunting task. Many physicians are surprised with its complexity and the amount of time involved in getting a new state license, gaining medical staff appointment at specific hospitals or being approved to provide care for members of individual health plans. The Sun Health Physician Services Team is here to help.

A general introduction to assist you in planning your relocation follows. The time frames and processes will likely vary from one physician to another depending on individual circumstances. Please contact us at 623/544-5075 for additional information on any of these processes.
