Palliative Care

Bayhealth is seeking a Palliative Care/Hospice Physician to join our growing, mission-driven program serving communities across Central and Southern Delaware.

As demand continues to rise, we are actively expanding both our inpatient and outpatient palliative care services, creating an opportunity for a physician who is passionate about delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Provide holistic, compassionate care focused on pain and symptom management
• Make a meaningful difference by enhancing quality of life for patients with serious or chronic illnesses
• Support and guide patients and families through complex care journeys
• A growing teaching institution with expanding Graduate Medical Education programs
• Convenient access to major metro areas—Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and Baltimore all within two hours, while maintaining a Coastal lifestyle with Delaware beaches less than an hour away

Compensation & Benefits that Deliver

• Competitive base salary + wRVU + quality incentives
• Sign-on bonus
• Malpractice coverage
• Generous paid time off + holidays
• 401(k)/403(b) with employer match

As a clinician, you have no shortage of opportunities. At Bayhealth, we offer something more meaningful—a place where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your impact is felt every day.

We’re honored you’re considering joining our team.

Why Choose Bayhealth? 

When you join Bayhealth, you’re not just stepping into a role, you’re becoming part of a connected, collaborative medical community. Our strong provider networks help you build strong relationships across the health system and within the community, supporting both your professional growth and patient reach.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute beyond clinical care. Whether through committees, quality improvement initiatives, or leadership programs, your perspective can help shape the future of care we deliver.
