Why Join Us

Central Valley Doctors Health System Physician Group invites you to join an established, collegial hematology-oncology practice at the heart of California's Central Valley — where you'll have the resources of a comprehensive cancer center and the satisfaction of serving a community that truly needs you.

With two physicians and an NP already in place, you're stepping into a well-functioning team, not building from scratch. This is a rare opportunity to practice full-spectrum oncology — including infusion, imaging, and cardiac services — in a setting that balances clinical depth with quality of life.

Position Highlights

  • Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM schedule
  • Call ratio of 1:3 with NP covering first call
  • Daily clinic census of approximately 33 patients per day
  • Inpatient rounding as needed — you manage your own patients
  • Comprehensive cancer center with a radiation oncology academic partnership
  • On-site infusion suite staffed by a PGY2-trained pharmacist
  • Full supportive oncology services, women's imaging, mobile PET/CT, and select oncology-related cardiac ultrasound on site

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation range of $395,799–$626,583, based on qualifications, experience, and productivity
  • Malpractice insurance provided
  • Health, dental, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Deferred compensation program
  • Relocation assistance

Candidate Requirements

  • MD or DO degree
  • Board eligible or board certified in Hematology-Oncology
  • California medical license, or eligibility to obtain licensure in California

Why Turlock

Turlock offers an affordable, well-rounded quality of life that's increasingly rare in California — with housing options ranging from established neighborhoods to luxury ranch-style retreats, all at a fraction of Bay Area prices.

As the second-largest city in Stanislaus County with over 70,000 residents and a California State University campus, it has the amenities and energy of a real community without big-city congestion.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the driving proximity to Yosemite National Park, the Sierra Nevada, and the San Francisco Bay Area — world-class destinations all within reach on a weekend. Twenty-four parks, a vibrant cultural arts scene, and the option to live in nearby Modesto (pop. 200,000) round out a lifestyle that lets you work meaningfully and live fully.

Emanuel Medical Center, part of the Central Valley Doctors Health System, is a 209-bed acute care hospital located in Turlock, California. Since 1917, Emanuel has been, and continues to be, dedicated to providing the best care possible for residents of Turlock and nearby communities.

As the community's premier medical facility, we provide hospital services that include 24-hour emergency care, the only heart attack receiving center between Modesto and Fresno, an advanced center for mothers and newborns, and rehabilitation and therapy.

The Emanuel Cancer Center provides specialized cancer services that include diagnosis, treatment and support. From emergency services and heart care to orthopedics, advanced stroke treatment and more, were focused on providing advanced care combined with attentiveness and kindness.
