Healthcare professionals are at cross roads in 2026. Burnout, administrative overload, and misaligned organizational values have pushed clinicians, nurses, and healthcare staff to rethink not just where they work, but why they work.

Across Sacramento, a growing number of healthcare leaders are choosing a different path. They are choosing to practice medicine with purpose, impact, and long-term growth in mind. 

And that path leads to Health and Life Organization (HALO), Inc.

A 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike (FQHC-LA), HALO offers something rare in healthcare: The ability to deliver high-quality, holistic care while serving diverse, underserved communities at a meaningful scale.

A Mission That Goes Beyond the Exam Room

HALO was founded with a commitment to provide comprehensive healthcare to low-income and diverse populations throughout Sacramento.

 

HALO’s nine community clinics serve more than 40,000 people and supports approximately 15,000 patient encounters each month. Every role at HALO, clinical, administrative, or leadership, directly contributes to expanding access to care and improving health outcomes. 

HALO provides healthcare workers the balance of purpose and scale, providing professional mission-driven work without sacrificing career advancements.

Integrated, Holistic Care in Action

One of HALO’s defining strengths is its integrated care model. Medical, mental health, and dental services operate together,  allowing care teams to address the full spectrum of patient needs.

This holistic approach is critical in underserved communities, where patients often face overlapping medical, behavioral, and social challenges. At HALO, clinicians are supported by teams that collaborate across specialties, improving continuity of care and patient trust.

HALO’s integrated model aligns clinical work with professionals who value equity, inclusion, and responsive care.

Opportunities for Physicians, NPs, and PAs

HALO offers a broad range of opportunities for licensed providers who want to practice community-focused medicine.

Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can work across:

• Primary care and family medicine
• Pediatrics
• OB/GYN and women’s health
• Behavioral and mental health

Care is delivered through team-based models, reducing isolation and administrative burden while strengthening patient outcomes. Providers collaborate with behavioral health specialists, care coordinators, and community health workers, allowing them to focus on clinical excellence rather than fragmented care.

For clinicians interested in leadership or program development, HALO’s scale and growth create opportunities to shape care delivery, mentor teams, and influence population health initiatives.

Dental and Specialty Providers: Collaborative Care That Matters

Dental health plays a critical role in overall wellness, yet there is still a gap in many communities to dental care. HALO addresses this by integrating dental services into its care ecosystem.

Dentists, hygienists, assistants, and dental coordinators can work in both dentistry-focused clinics,  such as Watt Dental and Southgate Dental, as well as mixed medical-dental locations. This collaborative approach allows oral health professionals to work alongside medical teams in the best interest of the patient. 

HALO also supports a range of specialty services, including chiropractic care, podiatry, dermatology, and acupuncture. 

Nursing and Care Team Roles With Real Community Impact

Nurses and medical assistants are central to HALO’s mission. Registered Nurses, Licensed Vocational Nurses, and Medical Assistants support care across multiple community clinics, working with diverse patient populations. 

In addition to traditional clinical roles, HALO nurses play a growing role in telehealth and access expansion. Telehealth triage, follow-up care, and patient education allow nurses to help patients navigate services, manage chronic conditions, and stay connected to providers across locations.

For nurses seeking patient relationships, professional stability, and the chance to practice at the top of their license, HALO offers a supportive, mission-aligned environment.

Behavioral Health and Allied Professionals: Integrated by Design

Behavioral health is not an add-on at HALO, instead it is embedded into care delivery.

Counselors, therapists, and behavioral health professionals work alongside medical teams to support patients with complex mental health, social, and emotional needs. This integration reduces barriers to care and allows clinicians to see the impact of their work on patient stability and long-term outcomes.

Allied health professionals and support staff are equally vital. From patient navigators to care coordinators, these roles ensure that patients can access services, understand treatment plans, and remain engaged in their care journey.

Administrative and Leadership Careers With Purpose

Behind every successful clinic is a strong leadership team. HALO offers career paths for administrative professionals, managers, and healthcare leaders who want to grow while making a difference.

Administrative staff support:

• Multi-site clinic operations
• Scheduling and referrals
• Patient communications and access
• Care coordination across services

HALO’s value-driven culture is anchored in HEAL: Health, Excellence, Accountability, and Leadership. Leadership roles come with a mandate to improve outcomes, support teams, and strengthen community trust.

For professionals who want their operational expertise to translate into community impact, HALO provides both responsibility and purpose.

A Workplace Built for Growth and Belonging

Healthcare professionals seek environments where they can grow, be supported, and feel connected to their work. HALO emphasizes:

• Team-based collaboration
• Cultural humility and inclusion
• Professional development and leadership pathways
• Technology-enabled care delivery

By combining mission, structure, and scale, HALO creates space for clinicians and staff to build sustainable careers while serving Sacramento’s diverse population.
