Pediatrician – Founding Physician

New Pediatric Practice (De Novo) | Rocky Mount, North Carolina

Location: Rocky Mount, NC
Employment Type: Full-Time

Build Something New — Where It’s Truly Needed

We are launching a brand-new pediatric practice in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and seeking a pediatrician who wants more than a traditional associate role.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a practice from the ground up in a community with significant unmet pediatric demand. Families in and around Rocky Mount are actively seeking accessible, high-quality pediatric care—and this practice is being designed specifically to meet that need.

From day one, you will play a meaningful role in shaping the clinical experience, care model, and community relationships of a practice built to last.

Why Rocky Mount?

Rocky Mount offers an appealing combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle flexibility:

• Less than an hour from Raleigh and the Research Triangle
• Less than two hours to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast beaches
• Affordable housing and an easy commute
• Strong community ties and a clear need for pediatric access

You get the impact and visibility of a smaller community—without giving up proximity to major metro amenities or coastal getaways.

The Role

As a founding physician, you’ll be central to establishing how care is delivered and experienced in this new practice.

What you’ll do:

• Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
• Build long-term, trusted relationships with families in the community
• Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
• Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
• Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership as the practice grows

This role is ideal for a physician who values autonomy, purpose, and ownership—and wants to be part of something from the beginning.
