• Central California Women's Facility (Chowchilla, CA)
• Correctional Training Facility (Soledad, CA)
• Centinela State Prison (Imperial, CA - near El Centro)

About the PositionWithin a structured, multidisciplinary team, provide primary care that may include treatment related to:

But, most important are what CCHCS physicians don’t have:

• Insurance, Worker’s Comp, and Disability paperwork
• Unrealistic patient volume – most primary care physicians see fewer patients per day than their private sector/HMO colleagues and are able to take the time they need for appointments
• Missed time with friends and family – with a 40-hour workweek, CCHCS physicians are able to care for patients and themselves
