As of 2016, CHC has 28 accredited, Joint Commission-certified health centers in 16 cities, spanning over 120 miles of California’s coastal communities. CHC is fortunate to have the stability that comes with more than 38 years of providing Primary Healthcare services, while steadily increasing the number of specialty services offered.

Operating under the patient-centered care team model, CHC provides a supportive infrastructure to improve care, quality and clinical outcomes. Our multi-specialty group practices allow for our providers to refer internally, while reducing physician burn-out by working with a capable team of medical support staff. Your productivity will also benefit from state-of-the-art EHR system.

At CHC, we respect the uniqueness of both our patients and our physicians. Working here you’ll have access to colleagues from diverse specialties, with equally diverse cultural backgrounds. The ethnic mix found in our service area–including African American, Asian, Caucasian, Latino, Native American, among others–offers physicians an interesting, diverse patient population.

Being part of a multi-specialty group like CHC affords you more time to spend with loved ones and allows the flexibility to pursue personal interests outside of work, leading to a more balanced and satisfying quality of life.

CHC offers a competitive base salary, plus incentives for production and quality, to ensure security and potential for additional earnings.

While the CHC headquarters are located in Santa Maria, the reach of our clinics stretches as far north to the quaint, picturesque small town of Cambria and as far south as the flower fields of the Lompoc Valley. Nearly a 93 mile stretch along the central coast corridors of Interstate Highway 101 and the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway 1. Most of the communities with CHC clinics offer a small-town feel with modern conveniences along with an abundance of exceptional dining options, wineries, majestic beaches a stone’s throw away, lakes, and golf courses.
