Catskill is one of those places where small-town charm meets natural beauty. Nestled in the Hudson Valley and surrounded by the scenic Catskill Mountains, it offers a peaceful, community-focused lifestyle with easy access to outdoor adventure. From hiking trails and river views to local shops and restaurants along Main Street, Catskill provides a refreshing balance of work and life. It’s an ideal setting for providers who enjoy a slower pace without sacrificing culture, community, or convenience.
Why providers like it here:
Strong sense of community and loyal patient base
Beautiful surroundings with year-round outdoor activities
A relaxed lifestyle with easy access to the Hudson Valley region
