Family Physician
Location: Lynn, Massachusetts
Description: Lynn Community Health Center is hiring Family Physician right now, this job will be placed in Massachusetts. More details about this job opportunity kindly read the description below. We are seeking physicians who are committed to serving the underserved, have a deep respect for the cultural diversity of our community, and are dedicated to reducing health disparities that often come with poverty and disenfranchisement. The pursuit of social justice pushes us to treat every one of our patients and colleagues with the utmost respect and dignity, in our aim to deliver the very best health care to even our most complicated patient.
LCHC is unique in the degree of integration between behavioral health ( BH ) and primary care ( PC ). Our model of integrated care aims to engage patients and invites them to become active participants in their health care. In both physical and functional perspectives, LCHC physicians practice closely with behavioral health providers, and our ratio of BH providers to PC providers is about 2 to 1.
