Company Description

Winters Healthcare is a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) located in Northern California dedicated to providing exceptional, compassionate medical care to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. Winters Healthcare offers primary care through a team-based model integrating behavioral health, perinatal, dental, and pharmacy services in house.

We're seeking a compassionate, Family Medicine Physician (low-risk OB experience preferred) to join our Winters clinic, where patient relationships matter and time is protected to support them.

Plus, enjoy protected admin time and the support of evolving tools like Ambient AI to reduce documentation burden and help you stay focused on what matters most... your patients and your well-being!

Our services include adult and pediatric primary care, chronic disease management, prenatal care, and minor procedures.

Each care team typically sees around 17 – 22 patients in an 8-hour shift, and have patient panels that average around 700. We place emphasis on establishing trusting relationships while being devoted to quality health outcomes and we have the data and measures results to prove it.
