Overview
Medical Director of Neonatology
Lead, Influence, and Thrive in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Open to Commuters
A Unique Leadership Opportunity
Responsibilities
Pediatrix Medical Group is seeking an experienced Neonatologist to serve as Medical Director for a 7-bed Level II NICU and well-baby nursery in Harrisonburg, Virginia. This position is ideal for a physician leader who values hands-on clinical excellence, programmatic influence, and a sustainable lifestyle-all within a supportive, highly engaged hospital environment.
As Medical Director, you will have the opportunity to shape clinical standards, guide quality initiatives, and serve as a trusted clinical leader, while maintaining a predictable and balanced schedule.
Why This Role Stands Out
Meaningful Medical Leadership
Located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Harrisonburg offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and quality of life. Surrounded by mountain views and outdoor adventure, the area features a lively downtown, rich local culture, and easy access to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. With affordable living, minimal commute times, and a strong sense of community, Harrisonburg is an ideal location for physicians seeking both professional fulfillment and personal balance.
Lead With Purpose
This is a rare opportunity to step into a true Medical Director role-one where your leadership is valued, your clinical expertise matters, and your lifestyle remains protected.
Join us in delivering outstanding neonatal care while shaping the future of a program rooted in collaboration, balance, and excellence.
Qualifications
Our clinicians enjoy a competitive compensation package, with many locations offering sign-on bonuses and relocation.
Take great care of the patient, every day and every way.™ At Pediatrix & Obstetrix, that's not only our motto at work each day; it's also how we view our employees and their families. We know that our greatest asset is YOU.
We take pride in offering comprehensive benefits in a vast array of plans that fit your life and lifestyle, supporting your health and overall well-being. Benefits offered include, but are not limited to: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability, Healthcare FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and HSAs, as well as a 401k plan and Employee Stock Purchase Program. Some benefits are provided at no cost, while others require a cost share between employees and the company. Employees may also select voluntary plans and pay for these benefits through convenient payroll deductions. Our benefit programs are just one of the many ways Pediatrix & Obstetrix helps our employees take care of themselves and their families.
