North Country HealthCare is an equal opportunity employer and VEVRAA federal contractor.

North Country HealthCare is the primary community health center in the area. In 1991, a small group of doctors and nurses, health and human service representatives and consumers worked together to establish the Flagstaff Community Free Clinic. In 1996, the clinic transitioned from a volunteer organization into a state and federally funded community health center. Today, North Country HealthCare serves 12 communities across northern Arizona, providing quality medical care to all while building healthier communities.

Flagstaff is in sunny Arizona, but it is NOT the hot desert! At an elevation of 7000 ft., the city has a true four-season climate with two ski resorts (downhill and cross country) within 15 miles of town. Outdoor recreation is a year-round passion for most residents and includes hiking, road and mountain biking, climbing, and water sports at nearby Lake Mary, Lake Powell, Oak Creek, and many other local spots. Flagstaff is within two hours of eight national parks. Flagstaff's running community is nationally famous and growing. Home to Northern Arizona University, Lowell Observatory (where Pluto was discovered!), Gore Technologies, and a United States Geological Survey campus, the sciences contribute to the diverse economy and personality of the community. The walkable historic downtown district offers eclectic but relaxed shopping and dining. With all this, plus a museum and arts of all types, you'd have to try to be bored in Flagstaff!
