Kern County offers physicians and their families some of the region s most affordable housing, along with several of California s top natural attractions: it s the closest SCPMG area to the great outdoor experiences of world-famous Yosemite, King s Canyon, Sequoia, and Death Valley National Parks. The city of Bakersfield is a secret gem, with groves of old-growth trees, wide streets, and blocks of beautiful homes--without the typical Southern California traffic jams.

Kern County is unique within SCPMG. With its smaller-town, less urban feel, there is a true sense of family, of being an integral part of something very special. It s the only medical center within SCPMG that can meet as one united group at the same time. Our area s smaller size fosters open dialogue across all levels, offering physicians a voice and enabling constant improvements, small and large.

Physicians enjoy the best of two worlds--operating within the stability and support of the Permanente system yet maintaining the feel of a smaller medical group. New hires are quickly integrated into the system, for accelerated learning and support. This welcoming spirit goes far beyond the medical center:
Physicians  spouses and families are actively connected to one another in social activities, formal and informal, and to local culture and activities.
