Effingham Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates

We are a dedicated team of healthcare professionals committed to providing exceptional care to women of all ages in Effingham and surrounding areas. Our experienced providers are passionate about women's health and strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment for each patient. 

 

“Our practice is expanding, and we are looking to bring on 1-2 additional OB/GYN physicians over the next year. Effingham is a town of approximately 13,000 people, but it feels much larger due to our wide-reaching service area. Many of our patients drive over an hour for their appointments, highlighting the critical role we play in providing comprehensive women’s healthcare to this underserved region. For physicians dedicated to making a meaningful impact, this is an incredibly rewarding opportunity.

At Effingham Obstetrics & Gynecology, we offer the chance to practice at the top of your medical license, supported by a tight-knit team of physicians and a strong mentorship program. With access to local OB/GYN mentors like myself, you'll have the resources to fast-track your professional growth and clinical expertise, especially in areas such as urogynecology.

Our team currently includes 8 providers and has an additional Ob/Gyn Physician signed to join us in fall of 2027, and we are affiliated with two hospitals—St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham and Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon. These facilities offer excellent resources, including a Level II NICU, surgical robotics, and dedicated block time for scheduled surgeries. With a balanced ratio of OB/GYN, combined with a 1:5+ weekend call schedule, our team has a sustainable work-life balance while making a profound difference in the lives of our patients.

Effingham is also an ideal place to raise a family, offering a welcoming, tight-knit community with excellent schools and a high quality of life. Practicing in a small town not only brings the satisfaction of serving an underserved population but also provides a family-friendly environment where physicians can thrive both personally and professionally.

We are seeking physicians who are not only committed to clinical excellence but also to serving a smaller, underserved population in a way that makes a lasting difference.”

Why Physicians Choose Effingham OBGYN (practice partner of Together Women’s Health)

At Together Women’s Health, women’s health isn’t one service line among many. It’s all we do. We’re a network of physician-led OB/GYN and subspecialty practices across the Midwest and Southeast, and each one keeps its own local name, patients and community identity. As an affiliated private practice, you get the autonomy and personal connection of private practice without carrying the business alone. Our operations team works alongside each practice every day, so you can focus on your patients rather than paperwork.

We believe great careers are built on support, not just a paycheck. New physicians join through a formal mentorship program designed to set them up for success from day one. You’ll also have access to robotic surgery, a clear partnership track and partners who have your back. Many of our practices serve communities where women’s health care is needed most. Compensation there reflects that need, and so does the team you’ll practice with: you’ll have colleagues, resources and a network behind you. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, have a voice in your practice and make a real difference for women and families, we’d love to talk.
