Primary Care Physician

Primary Care Physician

Introducing an exciting opportunity to join Hartford HealthCare's innovative and supportive primary care team in Connecticut, where patient-centered care is prioritized—and enhanced by Ambient AI which streamlines clinical documentation, reduces administrative burden, and empowers physicians to focus more fully on meaningful patient interactions—supporting both exceptional care and provider well-being. These opportunities arise from Hartford HealthCare's exciting partnership with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation to build a new 21,000 square foot health center on tribal land—an innovative project that will expand access to modern, patient-centered care for both Tribal members and the broader southeastern Connecticut community. This state-of-the-art facility will include two distinct yet connected spaces: dedicated Tribal Health Services for members of federally recognized tribes and a Hartford HealthCare clinic open to the public, creating a shared model that blends cultural affirmation with world-class clinical excellence.
