Working here
With its large geographical footprint, the Coachella Valley (a submarket of Riverside Kaiser Permanente) offers both the stability of the Permanente system and a high level of independence. Physicians are offered incredible variety--they can work in an urban setting or in more rural locations with a small-town feel; at the foot of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains or in the desert. Yet there are strong threads that run throughout our area: a culture of first-name collegiality, healthy work-life balance, and flexibility. A high level of respect from patients also helps unify the area and render the caregiving experience deeply gratifying. With its exceptional growth rate--perhaps the highest in the region--the area is still evolving, with new talent and ideas arriving each week. This keeps Coachella Valley environment fresh, young, and exciting, with leadership opportunities being presented regularly.
