Centerstone Medical Group is proud to be one of the largest community-based medical groups in the nation. We support the medical providers who deliver integrated health services across the organizations under Centerstone, including psychiatry, medication-assisted treatment for addiction, crisis stabilization, primary care, home health care, pharmacy, integrated health, and a wide range of specialty care.
We don't do business as usual — we push boundaries and redefine care every day. We take a whole-person approach, integrating primary care, behavioral health, addiction medicine, and dental and pharmacy services to meet people where they are. We don't work in silos — we work as a team, collaborating across disciplines to solve real problems in real time.
We're looking for bold thinkers — physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and dental providers who want to break barriers and rethink healthcare. If you're ready to do more, think bigger, and change lives, we want you on our team.

What is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)? — FQHC Associates [https://www.fqhc.org/what-is-an-fqhc/]
Practice medicine the way you always intended.
At Centerstone, our Primary Care Physicians provide whole-person, integrated care — supporting patients with medical, behavioral health, and substance use needs in a setting that prioritizes time, connection, and outcomes over volume.
This role offers a rare combination of predictable weekday scheduling, mission-driven work in an underserved community, strong interdisciplinary support (behavioral health, care coordination, case management), and meaningful impact on patients who truly need access to care.
You'll deliver comprehensive primary care while collaborating closely with behavioral health teams — allowing you to treat the whole patient, not just symptoms.
This is more than a traditional primary care role. Here, you'll treat complex patients in a high-impact, underserved community, work at the intersection of primary care and behavioral health, and practice in a setting designed to reduce burnout — not create it. This role is ideal for physicians who are seeking purpose-driven work, want to step away from high-volume systems, and value time with patients and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Provide comprehensive primary care, including medical evaluations, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
Manage chronic conditions and support patients with co-occurring behavioral health and substance use needs.
Ensure continuity of care through follow-up and coordination with the care team.
Work closely with behavioral health providers, care managers, and support staff.
Participate in case reviews and care planning discussions.
Support integrated treatment approaches for complex patients.
Engage in patient and community health education initiatives.
Contribute to program development, quality improvement, and care model advancement.
Option to participate in training, mentorship, or supervision of advanced practice providers.
Required Qualifications
MD or DO from an accredited institution.
Board Certified (or Board Eligible) in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine.
