Why West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach sits at the heart of Florida's Gold Coast — a resort-quality lifestyle with everyday livability. Palm Beach County offers A-rated public schools, access to multiple universities, and proximity to three international airports, all without the density of Fort Lauderdale or Miami just an hour to the south.

Outdoor life here is year-round: golf, tennis, boating, and water sports are as much a part of the culture as the world-class dining and arts scene that anchors downtown. For physicians relocating with families, this is one of Florida's most balanced communities — beautiful, connected, and built for the long term.

West Boca Medical Center (WBMC) is part of the Palm Beach Health Network and has been serving southern Palm Beach and northern Broward counties for over 37 years.

WBMC offers general medical and surgical care, orthopedics, a robotic surgery program, a state-of-the art breast imaging center, womens and childrens services and the only level III NICU in southern Palm Beach County.

Its two emergency centers, one at the main hospital and the other in Coconut Creek, are open 24-hours a day. Join our team!
