Health by Design | New Primary Care Clinic
Corpus Christi, Texas | Opening April 2026
At Health by Design, we’re reimagining what primary care can be. We don’t chase volume or RVUs—we invest in relationships, prevention, and whole-person healing. Our mission-driven, faith-based clinics focus on wellness, lifestyle medicine, education, and compassionate connection, empowering patients to take ownership of their health and thrive.
As we open our new primary care clinic in Corpus Christi in Spring 2026, we are seeking two Family or Internal Medicine Physicians to join our growing team:

If you’re looking for a role where you can slow down, build meaningful patient relationships, and practice medicine the way it was meant to be practiced—this may be the perfect opportunity.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
