Neighborhood Health has established itself as a frontrunner in primary care by leveraging cutting-edge technology and effective treatment methods. Our organization fosters an environment where you become part of a committed healthcare team focused on delivering high-quality care to all individuals in need. Employee benefits include: 

• A competitive salary structure 
• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave 
• Individual and family health insurance with shared costs 
• Support for continuing education 

Prior to applying, students are advised to verify with their educational institution that a valid and active affiliation agreement exists between the school and Neighborhood Health. For Neighborhood Health to evaluate an individual for placement, there must be a signed affiliation agreement with the student’s, resident’s, or intern’s institution.

By applying, the student, resident, or intern agrees that Neighborhood Health has the sole authority to determine and revoke placement opportunities at its discretion. It is important for students not to view their application as a guarantee of placement. We advise students to explore additional options until they receive written confirmation of their placement approval.
