WHY ST. EDWARD MERCY

A choice you can be proud of

There are plenty of reasons why dedicated physicians choose St. Edward Mercy Clinic. As you’ll see below, our commitment to our doctors extends beyond the usual perks and incentives.

Salary & extras
We offer top competitive salaries in a thriving marketplace. Fort Smith is on the move, and our physicians are among the forerunners with excellent pay, bonuses and incentives including paid malpractice insurance and a generous sign-on bonus.

At the forefront
As the leading medical facility in the region, St. Edward Mercy is constantly adapting to the newest trends in medical science and treatment, while creating a few, as well. You’ll be challenged daily and enjoy the satisfaction of making a difference by using the skills you have worked hard to develop.

Physician autonomy
Because of the high value we place on physician-directed leadership and governance, you’ll have the autonomy you seek and the appreciation you deserve.

Stable practices
The stability of your practice is only as good as the stability of the system in which you work. St. Edward Mercy Health System has continued to grow and prosper throughout its 100-plus-year history. Consistent revenue, award-winning management practices and unwavering commitment to our community makes the next 100 years look even better.

Physician input
Our administrative team realizes that physicians are the critical link between hospital services and patient satisfaction. We care about what you experience in your day-to-day practice, and we want to know your ideas on how we can improve.

Exceptional staff
The “personality” of a medical facility is created in large part by the individuals employed there. St. Edward Mercy puts great effort into hand-selecting the people who make up our multi-faceted team. We base hiring decisions not only on a “skill set,” but on a person’s commitment and passion for our Mercy values. Professionalism, cooperation, communication and respect are critical traits we look for in every new member of our team.

Plenty to do
The greater Fort Smith community offers a wide selection of big-city amenities yet maintains a less-hectic pace than you find in a sprawling metropolis. You and your family can enjoy as much of these amenities as you desire in a city that’s easy to navigate and constantly adding features that appeal to all ages and personality styles.
