For many physicians, the decision to relocate isn’t just about the hospital or the job — it’s about whether a city feels like the right place to raise a family. Winston-Salem consistently checks those boxes.

Here’s why so many doctors choose to raise their kids here:

1. Excellent Schools
From Sherwood Forest Elementary to top-rated magnet and private schools, families have plenty of strong options.

2. Parks + Recreation Everywhere
Tanglewood Park, Salem Lake, and countless neighborhood playgrounds mean kids have plenty of space to run and play.

3. Tight-Knit Neighborhoods
Communities like Ardmore, Sherwood Forest, and Clemmons are filled with block parties, youth sports, and neighbors who know your kids’ names.

4. Family-Oriented Lifestyle
Shorter commutes mean physicians actually get to see their families at dinner. The cost of living makes having a yard, pool, or playroom possible.

5. A Growing City With a Small-Town Feel
Winston keeps adding new restaurants, breweries, and events — but it still feels manageable and family-centered.

Wrap-Up:
For physicians balancing demanding careers and raising families, Winston-Salem offers the rare mix of opportunity and community. It’s not just where doctors work — it’s where families thrive.
