If you're looking for meaningful OB/GYN work without private practice instability or hospital burnout, while still earning at the top of the market, this role is worth a serious look.


Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic (YVFWC) is a large, stable Federally Qualified Health Center supporting high-performing physicians with strong infrastructure, robotic-assisted surgery, and efficient administrative support. Providers deliver full-spectrum OB/GYN care with Epic, experienced staff, and hospital-based call.


We are excited to open a newly centralized OB/GYN and Women's Health clinic in Yakima this November, bringing our existing services together into one dedicated, comprehensive location. This expansion strengthens access and continuity of care by aligning closely with YVFWC's network of primary care, pediatric, and specialty clinics, ensuring coordinated support for patients across every stage of life. By unifying our women's health services, this clinic will enhance efficiency, improve the patient experience, and expand our capacity to meet the community's growing needs. This is a unique opportunity for an OB/GYN to make a meaningful impact while helping to shape a collaborative, mission-driven practice that is deeply rooted in, and trusted by, the patients it serves.


The Practice

• Established OB/GYN service line with high patient demand
• Mixed OB + GYN care with continuity of patients
• Robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery
• Opportunity to maintain and expand minimally invasive surgical skills
• Team-based model designed to allow physicians to practice at the top of their license
• Collaborative, mission-driven culture-without private practice volume pressure

Your Care Team (You Are Not Doing This Alone)


OB/GYNs at YVFWC practice within a robust, multidisciplinary care model that supports both medical and social complexity:

• Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) supporting prenatal and gynecologic care
• Certified bilingual Medical Assistants
• Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs) integrated into clinic flow
• Social Workers and Care Coordinators addressing social drivers of health
• Registered Dietitians
• Lactation Consultants
• Internal referrals to pediatrics, family medicine, dental, pharmacy, and specialty services across the YVFWC system

This structure allows physicians to focus on clinical decision-making, surgery, and relationship-based care-while the broader team supports patient outcomes.


Provider Support & Technology


We actively invest in tools and staffing to reduce documentation burden and support physician sustainability:

• AI-powered ambient scribe technology to reduce after-hours charting
• Epic EMR with standardized templates and optimization support
• In-basket workflows supported by clinical teams
• Administrative and operational leadership focused on removing non-clinical burden

The expectation is not that physicians "do more hours," but that they practice efficiently with the right support.


Hospital, Call & Clinical Environment

• Call covered at MultiCare Memorial Hospital (Yakima)
• Typical call rotation is approximately 1:6
• Access to OR resources, including robotic platforms
• Clinic operations designed to support care teams-not physician overextension

Compensation

• Base compensation is $376,000
• Proven Earning Potential: Established OB/GYN physicians at YVFWC have demonstrated total annual compensation of $450,000+
• Achieved through a combination of base salary, WRVU productivity incentives, and quality incentives
• Designed for sustainability not shorter volume chasing

Compensation Includes:

• Market-aligned base salary benchmarked to MGMA Western Region

• $30,000 hiring bonus
• $20,000 relocation allowance

• Quality incentive payments tied to defined preventive care and outcomes metrics
• Teaching and precepting stipends for physician and APP training programs
• PA-C supervision compensation
• Clinical mentorship and leadership stipends
• Participation in medical leadership or committee work, if desired

Physicians can shape both scope and income over time.
