Highlights of being a Provider at MCHC:
Our clinics are located in rural Northern California right on the 101 Hwy, 2 hrs. north of San Francisco, 2 hrs. north-west of Sacramento and 1 hr. from the Pacific Ocean. This friendly community is rich in the arts and produces some of the best wines in Northern California. An area with plenty for outdoor enthusiasts and foodies alike. We offer an unparalleled sense of community, in a family-friendly environment, filled with opportunities for education, exercise, and creative outlet. In addition, with a short, stress-free commute, you'll have more time to spend with your family and friends or to explore the million acres of national forest, numerous lakes, picturesque vineyards, and breath-taking coastline that our area has to offer. You may choose to enjoy cultural activities including the symphony, community theater, dance and yoga studios, or galleries that display the amazing work of local artists.
If making a difference is important to you, you'll gain a strong sense of satisfaction when you practice at our health centers. Your expertise and compassion will be very much appreciated by your patients and your colleagues will soon become treasured mentors, eager collaborators, and lifelong friends. All of this adds up to a quality of life that you won't find else-where: Increased job satisfaction, time with family and friends, and the space to explore the personal interests that make your life more complete.
