In addition to primary care, we also offer Pharmacy Services with 6 in-house pharmacies and over 20 contract pharmacies. In addition, we offer pediatrics, behavioral health, diabetes and nutrition education, women’s health, medication-assisted treatment, and general dentistry. As a Patient Centered Medical Home, we have begun to have a large emphasis on Population Health Management and look forward to growing these services with Clinical Pharmacists.

This individual should be self-motivated, demonstrating the ability to work independently while maintaining high productivity and quality. Equally important, they must excel in collaborative settings, working seamlessly with other health professionals to deliver comprehensive care. A team-oriented mindset is essential, as their team values those who contribute positively to team dynamics and support their colleagues in achieving shared objectives.
