Utah Retirement System (URS Pension) A Competitive Advantage for Physicians GVH is a participating employer in the Utah Retirement System (URS). This is a defined-benefit pension plan that offers long-term retirement stability and is increasingly uncommon in healthcare systems. Why URS Matters for Physicians Provides predictable, formula-based retirement benefits. Rewards physician retention and career commitment. Defined-benefit pensions are increasingly uncommon in healthcare, especially for physicians, making URS a highly competitive benefit for long-term financial planning. In a landscape where many large systems have transitioned away from pension-based models, the ability to participate in URS sets GVH apart as a forward-thinking employer committed to long-term physician stability. Join a team where your work matters — to patients, to the community, and to the future of rural healthcare. #J-18808-Ljbffr
