Since 1970, FHCSD’s mission has been to provide caring, affordable, high-quality health care and supportive services to everyone, with a special commitment to uninsured, low-income and medically underserved persons.
FHCSD is one of the top 10 largest federally qualified health centers in the country, operating more than 90 sites across San Diego County and providing care to more than 227,000 patients each year — 91% of whom are low-income and 29% uninsured.
With a team of more than 3,200 dedicated employees, FHCSD takes pride in the diversity of its staff, which reflects the communities it serves. Working at FHCSD offers more than a paycheck and excellent benefits — it offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of San Diego’s communities.
FHCSD is currently seeking a Physician to provide Post-Acute Care in an outpatient setting. This position will focus on supporting people who have been recently discharged from inpatient care and patients that have urgent care needs that are not appropriate for the ER. This role does not entail a primary care patient panel following. This is a unique opportunity to help underserved members of our community improve their long-term health outcomes while working as part of a care management team to address immediate needs.
