Seems like the most understandable term in English to me. The other solutions I've seen either don't fit or I wouldn't know what they meant without additional explanations.

What is a community physician?

A medical practitioner whose primary concern is the health status of the population within a defined geographic area, who is usually responsible for assessment and evaluation of the community's health needs and for the organisation of health services to meet those needs.

social physician


Explanation:
Social medicine is its own field:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sozialmedizin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_medicine

---
Even though the concept of "social medicine," with which his name is so closely
associated, was not Sigerist's invention, he put a very special stamp on it. Erna
Lesky's book, Sozialmedizin, is useful in establishing both the historic development
and Sigerist's special role in it [5].

*The term social physician, which is used in this paper to avoid
clumsiness of expression, designates all those who have practised
social medicine
.
From this paper

From the late 1950s to the 1980s, Hermann Arnold, Ritter’s most prominent follower in the FRG, was a consultant on Gypsy issues to the federal authorities and to volunteer welfare organizations. He presented
himself as a social physician (Sozialmediziner)
rather than a racial hygienist.

social and occupational health practitioner


Explanation:
Good example of such a person is Ludwig Teleky (1872-1957) which comes up from a Google search for sozialmediziner. If you search for Ludwig Teleky it says he was a "leader in social and occupational medicine."

I was thinking public health physician but that is Volksgesundheit in German - https://www.linguee.com/english-german/search?source=auto&qu...

Another option is to go for occupational health and safety. So you could so OHS practitioner or physician or nurse. But I prefer social and occupational because the German has sozial in it.

disagree  Steffen Walter: An OHS practitioner would be an "Arbeitsmediziner", i.e. a somewhat related but different field of specialisation.
