Where You’ll Work

Red Bluff is a right-sized rural community of about 14,000 people sitting in the heart of far northern California.  

Far Northern California (or, as we like to call it, Superior California) is an outdoor paradise for hikers, bikers, boaters, anglers and hunters.  This area, bordered by Sacramento to the south and the Oregon border to the north, encompasses a third of the landmass of California. Here we enjoy more than 300 sunny days per year and a relaxed style of living for those who love the great outdoors. 

With the Sacramento river flowing through the center of town, an active and involved Chamber of Commerce, and a community that embodies the independent spirit of The West, Red Bluff is a great spot not just to build a practice, but to build a community.

Red Bluff is centrally located for travel up and down the west coast and is two and a half hours from Sacramento, two and a half hours from Medford, Oregon, and three and a half hours from San Francisco. Redding is 30 minutes to the north, and the great outdoors are just a few steps off your front porch! Come see what Red Bluff has to offer.
