    $230/hr+ if full time (120hrs/month) "Between my wife and I, we have lived in Colorado, Oregon, Florida, and Texas. Our current home in Morganton is by far our favorite in terms of activities, scenery, climate, and culture. There are at least 30 different waterfall hikes less than an hour drive from our house. The hospitalist group we work with is the most reasonable and accommodating of any I have worked with. Having GI fellows, IM residents, and medical students givens great teaching opportunities. Apollo is a group that puts provider wellness first, realizing that happy and healthy providers can provide the best care for our patients." Kellen Alstatt, MD - Medical Director at UNC Blue Ridge
