Description

Dental Hygienists:
Oral Care Starts With You

Who we are:

La Clínica de La Raza is a community-based health center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San Francisco Bay Area.

We have spent over 40 years advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to care.

As health care activists, we are dedicated to making sure individuals who do not have health coverage get the same level of quality healthcare as those who have it.

From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we understood that we cannot heal our communities without also addressing the economic and social factors that affect health.

Many times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care.

Over 90,000 individuals come to La Clínica because it is a welcoming place that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and well-being.

While we are still known for our activism and spirit of social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a sophisticated provider of primary health care services with 35 sites across Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties.

Oral care starts with you:

As vulnerable populations lose access to care, it becomes more important than ever that those who can lend their skills and passion to serving their communities step forward, live their values, and advance our mission.

If you have this calling, La Clínica is the place for you.

Join the La Clínica family and work shoulder to shoulder with some of the most dedicated dental professionals youll meet.

The sense of teamwork, commitment to our community, and our dedication to giving our diverse patients the high quality dental care they deserve, will inspire you.

You will be rewarded by your work with patients whose families choose La Clínica generation after generation. You will see the impact of your efforts as well as your colleagues in the faces of our patients. You will further your professional development through opportunities designed to build your skills as a mission-driven dental care provider. We offer robust perks including educational leave plus stipend, FTCA malpractice coverage, and flexible work schedules. In addition, we are a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) approved site for tax free loan repayment.

Our clinics are located in the thriving Bay Area known for its cultural diversity, beautiful weather, highly sought after schools and year-round recreational activities.
