A Day in the Life of a Physician with Winters Healthcare

As a Family Physician, you will provide care for our patients with a care team, alongside one of our five care team providers. The team includes a compassionate Medical Assistant, a motivating Population Health Coach (PHC), and a designated Patient Service Coordinator (PSC) working side‑by‑side for your panel of patients. You will work with our Clinical Psychologists for warm hand‑offs and other behavioral health consultation and support. To enhance our integrated care teams, we also have our dental department right across the lobby, as well as an on‑site pharmacy.

Our services include adult and pediatric primary care, chronic disease management, prenatal care, and minor procedures. Your day will vary from visit to visit: an 18‑month‑old well‑child visit, to a 63‑year‑old uninsured male with a cough, to a diabetic migrant‑seasonal farm worker, or a 25‑year‑old female coming in with her first pregnancy. Each care team typically sees around 17–22 patients in an 8‑hour shift, and has patient panels that average around 700. We place emphasis on establishing trusting relationships while being devoted to quality health outcomes.

The ideal candidate is a bilingual (English/Spanish) FM‑MD who provides prenatal care up to 36 weeks. The ideal candidate enjoys being on a team, making connections, building relationships, and providing health care regardless of one’s insurance or ability to pay. In addition, they should have strong communication skills and the ability to establish effective, trusting relationships with patients, colleagues and the community.
