Pediatrics Physician Assistant

HPSA Score for Primary Care: 18

At Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, we believe you are more than an Advanced Practice Clinician, and we are more than a job. As an FQHC, we are a patient-centered medical home dedicated to serving our communities. Taking care of a patient's health means caring for them with compassion. We treat our patients how they want to be treated, regardless of where they live, where they are from, or what they can pay. Our doors are open to all, regardless of their citizenship status.

Our neighborhood centers offer affordable, high-quality care for families, their kids, and grandparents. We help when they're hurting and even when they're not. Whether they're about to be a mom for the first time, trying to soothe their 6-year-old's toothache, helping their homebound grandmother get her medicine, or deciding the best foods to feed their family, we can help. We can even help when they're looking for work or trying to keep their home warm in the wintertime. We're here for our communities.
