Job description

Primary Care Physician – Help Redefine Community Health in Madera

Madera Community Hospital – Madera, California

Full-Time | Outpatient-Focused | Leadership-Informed Role

Salary: $250,000-$315,000/annual

About the Opportunity

Madera Community Hospital is building a primary care team that will serve as the foundation of a healthier future for our community. We’re looking for a Primary Care Physician — Family Medicine or Internal Medicine — who is ready to do more than run a clinic.

We want a physician who believes in relationship-based care, thrives in a community setting, and wants to help build a patient-centered program from the ground up.

This is an opportunity to practice medicine with purpose, influence how care is delivered, and become a trusted figure in a community that deeply needs accessible, high-quality primary care.

What Makes This Role Unique

• You’ll help shape the identity of our revitalized primary care service line, not inherit one that’s already set in stone.
• A meaningful community shortage means your work has immediate impact — many residents currently lack reliable, local primary care access.
• Leadership is actively seeking clinical voices to help guide care models, patient flow, chronic disease programs, and preventive-care initiatives.
• Collaboration is genuine, not just buzzwords — you will work closely with hospital, specialty, and care-coordination teams to rebuild trust and continuity in the region.

Your Work Will Include

• Comprehensive outpatient primary care for a diverse patient population
• Preventive health, chronic disease management, and continuity-focused care
• Developing patient education initiatives and care pathways that fit the needs of the Central Valley
• Participation in quality-improvement, access-expansion, and care-coordination projects
• Optional inpatient rounding or leadership involvement, depending on your interests
• Helping the hospital and clinics establish a culture built on accessibility, warmth, and reliability

Who We’re Looking For

• MD or DO trained in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine
• Board Certified or Board Eligible
• California medical license (or ability to obtain)
• A physician who values relationships, communication, and trust
• Passion for community medicine — especially in rural and underserved regions
• Someone energized by building, not just maintaining

Compensation & Support

• Competitive salary with quality and productivity incentives
• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance
• CME stipend and protected time
• Strong administrative backing as the clinic and hospital scale services
• Room for leadership or program-development roles if desired

Why Madera?

This is a Central Valley community with deep roots, authentic culture, and a genuine need for physicians who care. With proximity to Fresno and the Sierra Nevada mountains, you get small-town connection with big-city access — plus the satisfaction of knowing your work truly matters.
