About Altheda Medical Center

We are building a psychiatry program that is integrated with the broader medical needs of our patients. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, timely, and patient-centered psychiatric care supported by a strong clinical and operational infrastructure.

This role is best suited for a provider who values clinical quality, patient continuity, strong documentation, schedule stability, and working within a supportive outpatient medical practice.

The provider will evaluate, diagnose, and manage patients with psychiatric and behavioral health needs, including medication management and longitudinal follow-up care.
