Job Description:
Do you want to make a difference in healthcare?Landmark Health
was created to transform how healthcare is delivered to the most
medically vulnerable members in our community. Our medical group
provides home-based medical care to chronically ill patients, many
of whom are frail, elderly and ill-equipped to navigate our
overwhelming healthcare system.Because many of our patients are
frail and elderly, we deliver care primarily in the comfort of
their home. Our Program is also offered to eligible patients at no
incremental financial cost to them. We are not a fee-for-service
practice; we benefit economically only if we deliver high-quality
patient outcomes and satisfaction. As a result, our clinical teams
can spend quality-time caring for a smaller number of patients,
giving all patients the space, respect, compassion and care they
deserve.Our model is finding success throughout the country; we are
now the nation's largest risk-based, in-home medical group.At
