SURGICAL PA or NP FIRST ASSIST POSITION IN FULTON COUNTY, NY

-We are currently looking for a full time Surgical PA or NP First Assist for our Hospital.
-We are a small hospital located in Gloversville, NY. This is an hour away from Albany,
NY and 45 minutes to Saratoga.

-This position has been created due to volume and the growth of our Surgery sector.
We are a 56 bed hospital in Upstate NY at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.
About 80% of our patient volume comes from outpatient services and a strong network of
hospital run practices. The current surgical specialties are General Surgery, Orthopedics,
Ob/Gyn, Urology, Ophthalmology, Oral Surgery, ENT and Podiatry. We just opened our
Dialysis Center 2 months ago. We have 5 ORs and 3 scope rooms. We also operate a
free standing Endoscopy Center. The OR day begins at 8am. We reserve 7am for C-
sections. You would work a 4-5 day week. The choice of which would impact the
salary offering. In addition to your OR assignments, you would also provide back up for
our Pre-Anesthesia NP and wrap up work on Friday which is her day off.

equipment is top grade. Your would-be colleagues, our Surgeons, are welcoming and
cooperative with well honed skills.

-Our salaries are very competitive, starting at the Median for the Specialty in our
Geographic region. We provide 5 weeks PTO, 7 major holidays (although you may have
to take call on them), approximately 90% Individual Health Insurance premium, CME
funds, dues and licenses, Professional society dues, and of course, Malpractice

-There is a high quality of life here… nice schools, very reasonable housing stock, no
traffic and natural beauty all around.
