A Place to Grow as a Provider
We believe the environment where you begin, or continue, your career matters.
At Praxis Health, provider autonomy doesn't mean practicing in isolation. In La Grande, you'll have experienced colleagues available to collaborate, answer questions, share perspectives, and help you develop your own style of practice. You'll also have dedicated clinical support so you can spend more of your time focused on what brought you into medicine in the first place: caring for patients.

We work to give providers the autonomy to practice medicine thoughtfully while surrounding them with the clinical and operational support they need to build sustainable, rewarding careers. Our goal isn't simply to fill positions. It's to find providers who want to become part of their practice, their team, and their community.
Life in La Grande

Eastern Oregon University brings additional energy to the area, while locally owned restaurants, shops, and community events give La Grande a character all its own.
It's a place where you can know your neighbors, build meaningful relationships with your patients, spend less time commuting, and have more room for life outside of work.
