Join Atrium Health as an Acute Care Surgeon in Lincolnton, NC—part of Advocate Health, one of the largest nonprofit integrated health systems in the country.

At Advocate Health, we’re committed to being a Best Place to Care—where physicians are empowered, heard, and equipped to do their best work. You’ll be part of a leading integrated system with a shared commitment to innovation, well-being, and the communities we serve. Whether you're seeking professional growth, meaningful impact, or a team that lifts you up—this is where it starts.

Small and rural communities face unique challenges in providing access to highest quality, coordinated and collaborative care close to home for patients. General Surgery represents an essential service to all of our acute inpatient facilities. Our mission requires that we find innovative solutions to the challenges of surgical care at small community hospitals. These solutions must advance quality, optimize the care at the local facility and facilitate coordination of care when specialists or tertiary level of care is required.

Atrium Health is recruiting a BC/BE general surgeon interested in emergency general surgery to join our team at AH Lincoln, a 100-bed acute care hospital in Lincolnton, NC. The surgeon will play a vital role in elevating the care of urgent and emergent general surgical patients at the facility. This surgeon will cover urgent/emergent general surgical needs and partner with two established general surgeons who participate in call coverage in addition to elective practice. The two surgeons and their APPs function as a team in a collegial, collaborative environment.

Highlights

The EGS focused surgeon will work 7days on/7days off schedule, with competitive salary, benefits and bonus structure.
Endoscopy experience is beneficial but not required.
The surgeon will provide some limited clinic coverage during the work weeks, primarily for urgent needs and hospital follow-ups.

Surgeons at Lincoln have the benefit of coordination of care with specialists such as interventional radiology, HPB, bariatrics, plastic surgery, colorectal, gynecological oncology and others at two regional tertiary referral centers.

Atrium Health is also committed to the professional development of surgeons.
Through the AH Acute Care Surgery Network, all surgeons providing care of the EGS/trauma/Surgical Critical Care patient can participate in a monthly call, research and education opportunities and specific projects to advance the care or urgent general surgical patients across the system.
Leadership structures align community surgeons with mentors locally and across the region and facilitate pathways to impact positive change.
In addition, the AH Medical Group is renowned for its advanced programs around physician leadership development, physician well-being and career development.
