<div><div>OUR COMMITMENT TO A HUMAN HIRING PROCESS

We believe every candidate deserves thoughtful consideration. That's why we do not use AI or automated systems to review applications. Every application is reviewed by a real human member of our team. Because we take the time to give each submission the attention it deserves, our review process may take a little longer &mdash; and we genuinely appreciate your patience as we work through applications carefully and respectfully.

SERVICE AREA PREFERENCE

While we encourage all interested applicants to apply, we do give priority to those who live in, or near, our service counties: Santa Cruz, Monterey, Merced, San Benito, and Mariposa. Our mission of accessible, quality health care guided by local innovation leads everything we do, and having team members who are connected to the communities we serve strengthens our ability to deliver on that commitment.</div>
