Lake City – The gateway to FL

Tucked into the junction of two major highways in North Florida — I-75 and I-10 — Lake City is a breeze to get to from any direction. Plus, we’re within easy reach of several large cities.
Downtown Lake City is known for its treasure trove of history, natural wonders, and even its possible hauntings, making it an exciting place to visit where there’s always something happening.

Lake City and the surrounding communities of Columbia County house an enchantingly diverse ecosystem, with over 350 miles of rivers, 1,500 miles of trails, aquatic caves, nine state parks, waterfalls, and 300 documented natural springs that offer cave diving, tubing, paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking, birdwatching and spring hopping that can’t be found anywhere else in the United States.
Physician salaries can only be approved by the facility director and are determined by several factors including location, assignment (inpatient vs outpatient), training, experience, board certification, etc.

In addition to your total salary, you will also be eligible to earn up to an additional 7.5% of your salary (not to exceed $15,000) each year in Pay for Performance (P4P). This consists of goals set by your supervisor and will be discussed with you upon employment orientation.
