In addition to a structured orientation process, all newly hired therapists participate in our Buddy Program so you have a designated peer to help you adjust and succeed in your new position.Our HistoryFHCSD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rich in history and tradition. In 1911, the San Diego Industrial School was built on the site where our first clinic now stands. This school eventually transformed into a settlement house that provided Barrio Logans immigrant residents with dearly needed social services. When it was announced that the city was closing the building in October 1970, Laura Rodriguez and a group of community members attended a Barrio Logan Community Action Committee meeting where they passionately advocated that the location should continue to function as a community health clinic. When their request to continue services was rejected, the group occupied the building in protest.After eight days of negotiations the City of San Diego and the community leaders reached a resolution. This led to the gifting of the building to the people of Barrio Logan and the establishment of a free clinic. Medical care delivery began two evenings a week, and the health center saw approximately 150 patients each month. FHCSD has since grown into one of the 10 largest Federally Qualified Health Centers in the nation. We're proud to honor our organizations heritage by continuing to increase access to quality health care while serving the community of San Diego.#IndMentalHealthIn the spirit of pay transparency, we are excited to share the base range for this position, exclusive of fringe benefits.$100,000.00 - $125,987.00If you are hired at Family Health Centers of San Diego, your final base salary compensation will be determined based on factors such as geographic location, jurisdictional requirements, skills, education, and/or experience.
