About the Health Center:
The Health Center serves an extremely diverse patient population including Brazilian, Cape Verdean, Haitian, Latino, Portuguese, African American and Caucasian, 77% of whom live in poverty. It provides desperately needed services to low-income and marginalized populations in the area, and is committed to health promotion and disease prevention.
Compensation & Benefits:
Position includes a competitive salary, medical, dental, and vision plans as well as disability insurance, life insurance, and 403b with a generous match.
The Health Center has a facility Health Professional Shortage Area designation with a score of 13 out of a possible 21 and is an approved National Health Service Corps loan repayment site.

There is also a state loan repayment program in Massachusetts that will pay up to $25,000 per year in loan repayment up to a total of $75,000, for physicians who practice in a community health center. Loan repayment is not available to physicians on visas. Physicians cannot receive NHSC and state loan repayment at the same time.
