Folks find Lincolnton an excellent place to visit. A flourishing downtown central business district is enjoying a renaissance with local merchants selling antiques, boutique clothing, fine jewelry, and unique gifts. A new music store, recording studio, butcher shop, and wood-fired pizzeria are a few of the most recent business openings. A growing restaurant and craft brewery movement is creating opportunities for entrepreneurs and leading the charge to redevelop and repurpose historic buildings. 

The community’s commitment to historic preservation and celebration of the arts led to its first public art installation featuring “Pots on Parade” face jugs in the local Catawba Valley pottery style installed on Main Street. Period artistic and advertising murals adorn rehabilitated brick buildings; quilt squares have been installed on public buildings as part of the growing quilt trail movement and a new blueway river launch and fishing pier takes advantage of the South Fork River that runs through the city. 

Each June, Lincolnton celebrates its pivotal role in the American Revolution with the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill “Battle Weekend” event. The patriot victory is commemorated each year with a living history weekend of Revolutionary War reenactments and music, period cooking, firearms demonstrations, battle site tours, and a wreath-laying ceremony at the mass gravesite by the Sons & Daughters of the American Revolution.

When an MDVIP-affiliated physician decides to retire, our experienced Physician Services team finds a qualified doctor to purchase this established, stable practice. It is a unique opportunity for an incoming physician to either relocate or transition to a more personalized primary care model. For doctors interested in acquiring a personalized care practice or seeking employment, we have opportunities around the country as MDVIP-affiliated physicians retire and take advantage of our succession experience. We work with physicians the same way our affiliated doctors work with patients—we customize our efforts to meet unique business needs.

As the national leader in personalized, preventive primary care, MDVIP offers physicians in all types of markets —rural, suburban and urban—the opportunity to open a new membership practice. Even without an existing patient base, MDVIP develops a comprehensive business strategy at no cost to you to assist you in starting your practice successfully and then continues to invest in your growth and prosperity.

Because people are our priority, we work together with our affiliated physicians to establish continuity of care for patients who choose not to participate in our membership-based model. In other words, no one is left without care. Become an employed physician by working alongside one of our experienced affiliated physicians, providing continuity of care in a traditional setting for patients who are not enrolled as members.
