Company Description

Cypress Healthcare Partners, LLC, is a service business. Our mission and goal are to constantly strive to provide prompt, courteous, quality services to our physician and hospital clients and their patients.

Our business model is based on the premise that the highest and best use of a physician's time is to see and treat patients. When physicians spend time on the administrative tasks that we provide, they are not performing "at the top of their license." They are our clients, and by providing administrative support, we are able to make their professional lives easier and more productive.

Formed in 1996, Cypress Healthcare Partners is a physician practice management company who provides various services to physician and non-physician practitioners in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties. Cypress's clients include Salinas Valley Medical Clinics, Montage Medical Group, Doctors on Duty, Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates, and Monterey County Surgical Associates, who hire for a variety of roles supporting their primary care and specialty practices.

Welcome! As an employee of CHP, you will be an important member of a team effort. We hope you will find your position with CHP rewarding, challenging and productive. We want to foster a work environment that encourages people to improve, learn, better their skills and professionally advance their careers. There is no employee or position within our organization that does not have the ability to have a major impact on our business; a caring PA, a polite receptionist, a professional collector, an efficient medical assistant - all individually have the ability to make us successful.

We all make a difference - a big difference.
