VOLUNTEER PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN

PART-TIME

Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center is a great place to work where people are concerned about equal access to health services, mutual respect, appreciation for diversity, and social justice. We look for candidates who share our values, and bring a willingness to contribute to our mission and openness to developing their skills.

Agency Description:
Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center's mission is to educate, support, empower, and advocate for Asian and Pacific Islander (A&PI) communities — particularly A&PIs living with, or at-risk for, HIV/AIDS. We are the oldest and largest nonprofit in North America focusing on sexual health and HIV in A&PI communities. Founded in 1987 as an all-volunteer, community-based response to the AIDS crisis in communities of color, we are based in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood. We operate local, regional, statewide, and national programming, and collaborate with grassroots activists throughout the Asia Pacific Region. All of our work is aligned to fight HIV-related stigma; to provide primary healthcare access to A&PIs who experience the most extreme forms of discrimination and have the least access to quality services; and to be the primary provider of transgender services for the City of San Francisco. The agency's greatest assets — our Board of Directors, staff and volunteers — reflect the talents and diversity of the communities we serve. As a cornerstone of our cultural competency, our staff speak approximately 20 languages. Our work is rooted in our core values — Client-Centeredness, Compassion, Justice, Leadership, Respect, Sex-Positivity, and Wellness— which anchor our strategic thinking, our service delivery models, our community collaborations, and our organizational culture.
