Job Summary

Paragon, of St. Joseph County in South Bend, Indiana, is actively seeking a full-time Primary Care Physician to join our dynamic and collaborative team.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to provide meaningful care for roughly 1,600 employees throughout the county. This is a client-based model where you will get to spend time with your patients, building a relationship, and creating custom wellness plans for their needs. Our work-site/near-site clinic model gives physicians the opportunity to practice medicine the way it was meant to be—focused, relationship-driven care, without the volume pressures of traditional clinics.

It’s a rewarding environment where you can truly impact the health of an entire workforce. 

Our primary care services are designed to meet the comprehensive needs of our employee  population through a patient-centered, proactive approach to care.

In addition, patients benefit from robust, individualized wellness programs tailored to support  health goals such as weight management, smoking cessation, and diabetes management. 

The clinic offers convenient on-site diagnostics, including both POC and LabCorp laboratory services, as well as an on-site pharmacy with an established formulary that includes select vaccines. POC testing capabilities include glucose, HCG, strep, COVID-19, influenza, urine albumin/creatinine ratio, and urinalysis with microscopic examination. On-site EKG testing is also available, allowing for efficient, comprehensive care delivery in a single location.
