Family Practice - Geriatrics Physician

St. John s Community Health is seeking its first Geriatrician to help expand how the organization cares for older adults across Los Angeles and surrounding communities.

This is more than a traditional clinic-based geriatrics role. The physician will provide comprehensive care for older adults while also helping shape the longer-term direction of St. John s geriatric community care program.

The model is designed around the realities of aging not only chronic disease, but also cognition, function, medication burden, caregiver needs, mobility, social circumstances, and access to community resources. The Geriatrician will work closely with interdisciplinary teams and help connect care across primary care, behavioral health, specialty care, pharmacy, social services, caregivers, and community partners.

A distinguishing part of the role is the opportunity to provide care beyond the traditional clinic setting. In addition to seeing patients within St. John s clinics, the Geriatrician may support mobile health efforts, home visits, and partnerships with community- and faith-based organizations through health education, screenings, wellness monitoring, and care coordination.

For a physician who wants to remain hands-on clinically while also helping influence how geriatric care is structured and delivered across a community health system, this is an opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up.

St. John s Community Health is one of California s largest Federally Qualified Health Centers, serving underserved communities across Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties.

The organization s mission is centered on eliminating health disparities and improving community well-being through high-quality, culturally responsive care. This role offers the opportunity to combine direct patient care with program development, community engagement, and long-term impact on how older adults receive care across the system.
