Bakersfield Family Medical Center / Heritage Physician Network sets a standard for excellence in health care provided to our patients in settings that promote wellness and preventive medicine. Throughout the history of our medical organization, we have invested our resources in the development of programs and services responsive to the health care needs of our members, while adapting to the increasingly diverse needs of tomorrow’s health care agenda.

BFMC has employed primary care providers and some specialists with offices located throughout Kern County. Heritage Physician Network is a physician group with locations throughout Kern County who comprise an Independent Physicians Association (IPA). These IPA physicians are affiliated with BFMC, although they maintain their own offices. Members who select BFMC/HPN physicians will see their doctors in their conveniently located private offices. All members of BFMC/HPN can access the full range of services, programs, and specialists offered by BFMC.

Heritage Provider Network (HPN), BFMC/HPN’s parent organization, is a limited Knox-Keene licensed organization in California that provides affordable quality care to its members. Through innovative programs and services designed specifically for the managed care environment, HPN and its medical groups have been successful in delivering the goals it set out to achieve while establishing long-standing, favorable provider relationships.

The HPN’s preventive health care services are widely acknowledged to be among the broadest and most advanced in the industry. Preventive health care services include employer-based health education programs, vaccinations and fitness programs. HPN has implemented rigorous programs to review utilization, quality assurance compliance, medical risk management and patient issues and concerns.
