District Physician/Specialist in General Medicine for Strömsund Health Center and Primary Care Unit

Strömsund Health Center welcomes a district physician/specialist in general medicine who wishes to contribute to the development of our health center and Primary Care Unit (Näva). Take the chance at this unique opportunity that is not available anywhere else in Jämtland!

Primary care is in an exciting phase of development with a focus on close care and the development of distance-independent care. To create better conditions for collaboration, we have established a new joint organization for primary care and ambulance services: Close Care. This development means that we will be able to work more easily together in multidisciplinary teams, using changed working methods that are more based on people's needs and conditions.

There is a strong focus on developing the transition to close care together with other health centers, private healthcare providers, and municipal operations. We share a common vision and mission to provide the county's residents and visitors with better health and care.

The health center, with approximately 5,000 registered patients, has fresh and purpose-built premises. Here we offer both emergency and booked clinic visits. Adjacent to the health center is the Primary Care Unit (Näva), which we operate together with the municipality. Those of us working at the health center are constantly working to offer our patients the best care, with the patient's best interest at the forefront.

Do you want to be part of this development journey, contribute your expertise, develop our health center, and become part of our wonderful team? We warmly welcome your application!

Common diagnoses include, for example, heart failure, cancer, various types of fractures, and infections.
