Overview

You take care of patients.

We'll take care of everything else.

Including you.

You've spent years learning and training to provide outstanding care for your patients. That's why our model lets you focus on taking care of them. Our physicians have wrap-around practice and administrative support to do many of the things that aren't clinical, from answering emails to providing follow-up instructions, to helping secure social services for your patients.

We take care of you, too, with exceptional compensation packages, market-leading retirement contributions, gold-star health benefits, generous PTO, sabbatical opportunities, continuing medical education time and allowance, and leadership development through our in-house Northwest Permanente University.

Our integrated model fosters an environment that encourages and rewards innovation, providing our staff with ample opportunities to explore their interests. A recipient Healthgrades 50 Best Hospitals awards, Vohs and Lawrence awards, and 3-star ratings from Society of Thoracic Surgeons (to name just a few), we put innovative ideas forward while doing the right thing for patients. And we want your voice at our table.

Working for Northwest Permanente, you'll enjoy:

• 21% employer contribution to retirement programs, including pension (This is not a match; NWP contributes 21% of clinician earnings to retirement programs regardless of employee contribution)
• Up to 95% employer-paid, best-in-class health plans for employee and dependents
• Student loan assistance program
• Relocation allowance
• Sign-on bonus
• Leadership opportunities
• Paid annual education leave + allowance
• Shareholder opportunities
• Paid sabbatical after attaining shareholder status
• Salary range of $236,500 to $268,800, depending on experience and qualifications

You can be an important part of reducing health inequality and helping assemble our new Kaiser Permanente Center for Black Health and Wellness. This role will be instrumental in the development and implementation of a health center whose mission is to provide culturally competent health care for our Black and African American members. Northwest Permanente is hiring Board Certified Family Medicine or Internal Medicine Physicians to join our Kaiser Permanente Northwest Center for Black Health and Wellness Primary Care team. The Center will be comprised of a dedicated team of clinicians and staff that provide primary care services to our African American and Black patients in a space that is welcoming and community-focused. Within the Center there is an emphasis on screening and prevention, with a goal of increasing our cultural humility and spreading best practices across our community. We are seeking physicians that have experience providing culturally responsive care to African American and Black patients and/or supporting BIPOC community support organizations, along with demonstrated experience addressing racial health disparities and improving health outcomes of African American and Black patients.
