The Willamette Valley is in the heart of the renowned Oregon wine country. This is an outstanding place to live and work with so many opportunities for physicians and an abundance of activities and events from the great outdoors to the arts.  Our family oriented communities feature excellent public and private schools from pre-school to post-graduate.  Marion and Polk counties have so much beauty and an abundant diversity of activities and events to enjoy all year long.  In as little as a two-hour drive or less, you can be in the mountains, at the beach, in the high desert, downtown Portland or experiencing a leisurely tour of wineries that abound among the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley.  Not to mention, of course, the medical community here is well rounded and diverse with a full range of services.
