Who they are
You are looking at Southwest Health System in Cortez, Colorado. What is firm right now is the place: a health system job in a smaller southwestern Colorado city, in a compact-license state with a flat income tax near 4.4%.
More about Southwest Health System
That gap is real—you will want those answers from the recruiter before you decide. If Cortez fits the life you want and you already carry a compact license or you are running relocation numbers, those state-level facts are the solid ground under this listing. Everything else about the day-to-day still needs a direct conversation.
