Primary Care Providers:
Health Advocates Delivering Patient-Centered Care

La Clínica de La Raza is a community-based health center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. We have spent over 40 years advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to care. From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we understood that we cannot heal our communities without also addressing the economic and social factors that affect health.

We aim to link individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care. Over 90,000 individuals come to La Clínica because it is a welcoming place that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and well-being.

At La Clínica, you will be able to provide primary care in an outpatient setting, allowing you to practice comprehensive medical care. You will deliver care to a resilient patient population that is ethnically diverse and medically complex, with the aim of achieving optimal health outcomes for every patient. We attract and retain engaged staff by supporting providers in their pursuits of a meaningful role and offering opportunities in mentorship, quality initiatives and preceptorships.

La Clínica is committed to continued provider education; we host a Nurse Practitioner incubator program to prepare new graduates for their roles. You will work alongside teammates who are dedicated to an exceptional patient experience and health innovation. As a NP/PA, you will be surrounded by a collaborative care team that shares ownership of tasks to help improve your efficiency as a provider.

We offer robust perks including educational leave plus stipend, license reimbursement, FTCA malpractice coverage, and flexible work schedules. In addition, we are a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) approved site for tax free loan repayment. Our clinics are located in the thriving Bay Area known for its cultural diversity, beautiful weather, highly sought after schools and year-round recreational activities.
