CENTURION IS EXPANDING IN GEORGIA

COME GROW WITH US!

Since 1997, Centurion has proudly partnered with the Georgia Department of Corrections to provide mental health services. We are excited to announce that we will now also be expanding our services to include medical care. Centurion is actively seeking a Statewide Medical Director.

Primary Care outpatient physician opportunities are also available throughout the state.

Some of the unique benefits of correctional healthcare include:

· A clinically interesting, diverse patient population in a secure and structured setting

· Freedom from insurance, coding and reimbursement hassles

· Ability to spend time with your patients. No more cancelations or “no shows”

· Salary is consistent and is not based on patient volume

· Providers are not required to sign employment contracts or non-compete agreements


A career in correctional healthcare allows our Primary Care Physicians to make a difference to an underserved population and have a positive impact not only on the patients, but the communities to which they return. Be the change and explore one of the featured opportunities.
