Join our care team

While Welia Health is not currently hiring for any physician or Advanced Practice Provider positions, we are always interested in hearing from enthusiastic, talented individuals with an interest in providing excellent care in rural, East Central Minnesota.  We encourage you to stay in touch and check back with us periodically. We look forward to the possibility of working together in the future.

You want a meaningful, full-scope clinical practice

Enjoy a wide breadth of practice. Practice with greater autonomy.

If you’ve ever considered venturing to a new location to practice medicine, rural medicine offers a rewarding experience with distinct benefits from other environments.

  • Feel appreciated. While about 20 percent of Americans live in rural areas, barely one-tenth of physicians practice there. In communities where the potential for provider shortages are real, your choice to practice here could make a significant difference, because your services are needed
  • Avoid burnout. While our providers are in demand, stress levels tend to decrease while quality of life tends to increase. You’ll breathe fresh air, enjoy wide-open spaces and leave the traffic behind
  • Get to know your patients. The sense of community in small towns often translates to increased loyalty among patients. Doctors and other healthcare providers are highly thought of and find that valuable in establishing a continuity of care.
  • Expand your skills. As a rural doctor, you will find yourself wearing many hats and managing a wide range of cases on your own. You’ll hone your skills will becoming more adaptable and confident in practice areas you may not experience otherwise.

Interested?

We’d love the opportunity to introduce ourselves and Welia Health.
Call or email anytime.

My experience at larger health systems is that many decisions are handed from the top-down, with little opportunity for input or for tailoring my practice to how I see fit. At Welia Health, our leadership is receptive to feedback and they work with me, supporting my efforts to build a successful practice.

Let us tell you more about our Welia Health family and the communities we adore. Call or email anytime.

Wide-open spaces, family-friendly lifestyle and quality of life

Mora is nestled between the great northern forests and a sophisticated and bustling Midwestern urban center. The pristine wilderness of what Minnesotans refer to as “Up North” offers outdoor adventures often on one of our 10,000 lakes.

I don’t want to sit in traffic every morning and every evening. I want my commute to be through green prairies, pine trees and rolling farmland. I want fresh air and starry nights.

The bustle of city life is still within reach

Welia Health is located about an hour north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and 90 miles from Duluth, all great Midwestern cities.

  • Minneapolis, about 70 miles south of Mora, is the most populous city in Minnesota and is known for high-rise office buildings on the shores of the Mississippi River and vibrant nightlife.
  • St. Paul, just across the river from Minneapolis and the state’s capital, has a historic feel with a focus on classic architecture, neighborhoods and traditions.

The Twin Cities are rich with live theatre, a paradise for foodies, and unmatched professional sports teams whose stadiums are the envy of their competitors!

  • Duluth is about 90 miles northeast of Mora and sits on the westernmost point of the Great Lakes. With panoramic vistas, an expansive public park system, and plenty of shopping and museums, it’s an ideal day trip.

There’s something special about the people who choose rural healthcare. Our relationships are stronger. There’s more interaction not only in the hallways of the hospital or clinic, but there’s more interaction in our lives. Our kids are in the same classes together, and on the same sporting teams. Our families attend the same church. We get to know each other, our families know each other, and we’re a part of the community.
