What we see at Ava Health

Wyoming pays some of the highest physician locum rates in the country for primary care, EM, and OB/GYN. Jackson Hole is a premium market. Energy industry (Casper, Gillette) drives EM demand. $300 fee and IMLC membership make WY cost-effective for Mountain West locum portfolios.
