Physician, Integrative Primary Care

North Bay Health's Integrative Primary Care Programoffersa highly personalized primary and preventive care experience featuring outstanding internal medicine, family practice, lifestyle and integrative medicine providers. The program is dedicated to providing outstanding primary care services and coordinated access to our network of specialists.

We are looking for a Physician (MD or DO) who believes that health starts with lifestyle and relationships – not just prescriptions. Our board-certified physicians adopt a personalized, relationship based philosophy in a highly consultative setting. This role is for a physician who wants to blend expert clinical care, with patient connection, health education and supplemental therapies to encourage positive lifestyle change.

This is not a typical primary care role. The role will have a smaller than standard primary care participant panel and work in close collaboration with the on site lifestyle and integrative medicine team – RN’s dieticians, movement, stress management, sleep specialists as well as medical acupuncturists – to provide patients a seamless, high touch, high service, highly personalized Integrative Primary Care patient experience.

This is not a concierge medicine practice however all program patient participants do pay a program fee, not covered by insurance.

As a physician provider in the Integrative Primary Care program, you’ll perform traditional primary care responsibilities in addition to providing clinical leadership, guiding patient’s through the lifestyle medicine education program components, and providing oversight for group-based care focused on nutrition, physical activity, stress reduction, restorative sleep and social connection.

Our Integrative Primary Care providers spend more time with each patient, enabling them to deliver personalized medical advice tailored to individual lifestyles. The program is grounded in evidence and is designed to prevent and manage chronic conditions.
