Message from the President

As a practicing physician for almost 25 years, I understand the challenges private practitioners face in the current environment. Administrative headaches. The high cost of malpractice insurance. The difficulties in negotiating with managed care plans.

Joseph Golbus, MD President, NorthShore University HealthSystem Medical Group

That’s why I’ve devoted my career to making NorthShore University HealthSystem Medical Group a place where physicians can truly thrive and prosper and do what we were all trained to do: practice the art and science of medicine in a patient-focused environment.

Here we connect the strength and stability of an established physician network with the autonomy and independence you’d expect from an organization that is physician-led and physician-driven. In fact, 20 of our 21 board members are physicians like I am. 

To put it simply, we provide all the infrastructure, tools and support necessary for your success while promoting the clinical independence you cherish. 

NorthShore University HealthSystem Medical Group really is a different kind of organization, and if you take a look at some of the key benefits of membership, I think you’ll agree. Among the advantages we enjoy: 

  • Relief from the everyday hassles of running a practice. A state-of-the-art electronic medical records system that is second to none in assuring physician access and better patient care. A “best practices” billing and collection system that ensures you get the most appropriate compensation for the services you provide. Affordable malpractice coverage.
  • A strong partner. An extensive network of 550-plus primary care and specialty physicians practicing in more than 75 locations throughout the North and Northwest suburbs. Affiliation with The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and our premier Research Institute. The long-term stability and support of NorthShore University HealthSystem, a nationally recognized, financially solid organization with a strong record of growth and a healthy future outlook.
  • Autonomy and support. A private practice-like model that physicians use to run their offices. Support for key functions such as billing, coding, practice growth and office work flows. Professional development for both physicians and practice staff. And a service-oriented culture that supports your efforts to provide the best in patient care.
  • Enviable personal economics and lifestyle. Compensation plans that are highly competitive with the market. A generous and comprehensive benefits package to rival those of larger institutions and open market offerings. And flexible scheduling that helps you grow your practice while respecting your lifestyle needs.

Together we are a large and growing team of dedicated medical professionals who are invested in each others’ futures and devoted to the highest standards of patient care. We invite you to consider one of our open positions. If you’d like to learn more about NorthShore University HealthSystem Medical Group, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the many advantages of membership.
