Northside Medical Associates and St. Vincent’s Health System are currently seeking an Internal Medicine or Family Practice candidate for a private practice setting at Northside’s Pell City office.  Northside Medical Associates is a progressive multi-specialty group located in Pell City, Alabama approximately 40 minutes from downtown Birmingham and 90 minutes for Atlanta along 1-20. 

Northside Medical Group consists of 5 full-time and 1 part-time physician.  The group includes 2 Internists, 1 Gastroenterologist, 2 Family practitioners and 1 Sports Medicine/FP.  Their group holds several subspecialty clinics in their office to serve the community.  They include Orthopedics, OBGYN, ENT and Dermatology.  The group provides inpatient care at St. Vincent’s St. Clair Hospital just a few blocks from their office.  St. Vincent's St. Clair hospital has operated in Pell City with more than three decades of service.

Northside Medical is interested in adding a physician due to the daily growing demand for healthcare services.  The compensation package for new physicians includes:

Salary guarantee of $150,000 for the first year, at least 1:9 call, practice management support, 4 ½ day work week, malpractice insurance and staff support (nurse and assistant).

The most important feature is that income is not limited by Northside Medical.  Each physician runs his or her own practice the way they see fit. No one has to “buy in” in order to keep what they earn.  Once operational overhead has been covered, all left-over profits brought in by a physician belong to that physician. 

Northside Medial Associates is located in Pell City, Alabama.  They are in St. Clair County which is a designated Federal Medically Underserved Area (MUA) with a rating of 42:1.  The US Government sets the cutoff rating for MUA’s at 64 or less.  Pell City’s Current population is estimated at 11, 894 in 20206 with a 24% increase in population since 2000.

Northside Medical Associates is located close to Logan Martin Lake and has traditionally been considered to be a lake retirement community.  Recent years however, have brought the emergence of Honda Automotive manufacturing in Lincoln nearby.  Associated and non-associated light manufacturing industry has fueled significant growth to the local population.  The average age while still above the Alabama average age at 38, is dropping due to influx of younger families to the county due to the economic growth locally.  Forecasts are for continued economic expansion equal to or exceeding the last seven year her with plans for a new hospital and medical complex to be completed by 2011.
