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 — 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.     ABOUT THIS TEMPORARY POSITION This is a temporary position, and the length of the assignment is estimated to start in July 2026 through December 2026.
