Job Description

Last Update: 4/04/24
We are seeking a BE/BC Family Medicine Physician to join Community Health Center in east Central NE. Since 2002, the clinic has served as a vital resource for the medically underserved in northeastern Nebraska. Together with their co-located partner, it operates two federally qualified health centers (FQHC). While the primary service area of the two clinics encompasses seven counties, in 2021, the two clinics saw a total of 10,399 patients from over 45 zip codes.

  • Visa candidates welcome.
  • Clinic has five provider bays, each with three exam rooms, an office, and a computer station. The dental clinic has seven operatories, and four behavioral health offices.
  • The reception desk in the front entrance of the building has five medical office specialists, and there is a large patient waiting area as in the interior area of the building near the clinical space.
  • In Fall, 2020, it remodeled a large, former storage “shelled” space, which is now a same-day clinic with two exam rooms and a reception desk. A newly remodeled lab, an x-ray room, and an on-site, contract pharmacy, round out the clinic facilities.
  • Clinic is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Extended hours are Wednesdays, when the clinic is open until 7 p.m.
  • NextGen EMR.
  • Many staff members are bilingual in Spanish/English, and a language interpreting system is used for patient/provider translation.
  • Other support services include transportation to and from appointments using two new, handicapped accessible vans; an Outreach and Enrollment department that assists area residents who want to/are eligible to enroll in the healthcare marketplace, Medicaid, Medicare, and other programs for which they may qualify.
  • Telehealth services are also available for patients.

One unique feature of the clinic is that it is co-located with a state-approved district health department. It serves four surrounding counties with programs including tobacco cessation; Women, Infants and Children (WIC); Early Development Network (EDN), a state program assisting families with children, ages 0-3, who have developmental disabilities; Vaccines for Children; mold and radon abatement; a Public Health Emergency Preparedness program and; the four-county area’s infectious disease monitoring program. The co-location of these agencies offers increased opportunities to collaborate in providing needed services to area residents.

Area:

The area is in the heart of the Midwest. It sits at the confluence of the Loup and Platte Rivers, which provide a bounty of wildlife viewing, kayaking, hunting and fishing opportunities, as well as beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It has a population of 22,000 and is one of the state’s most progressive and dynamic communities. The city offers a fair tax structure, outstanding public and private schools and a variety of recreation and entertainment options. It has clean air, safe neighborhoods, no traffic jams and plenty of sunshine. The area is 80 miles away from Nebraska’s largest communities, Omaha and Lincoln, which means the benefits of big city entertainment, major airports and a key Big Ten Conference University (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), are just a short drive away.
