About Landmark Health
There is a care gap in America for those who need extra time with medical providers and easier access to care. Landmark cares for this group-people perhaps much like your parents, neighbors, and elders in your community-those with multiple chronic conditions.
Landmark Health is transforming how healthcare is delivered to patients with complex medical situations. As a national medical group, we provide home-based medical services to simplify care for those who need it most.
Want to be a Rock Star in the lives of patients with complex, chronic conditions?
Imagine if you will---.
You visit your small panel of patients in the comfort of their own homes. You spend all the time needed to ensure your patients' health issues are addressed. You create a friendly and trusting relationship with each patient and his or her family. You have the support of a collaborative, multidisciplinary clinical team who works in the field with you. And you do it all - at no added cost - to the patient .
What would you be in this role? A clinical Rock Star . That's what you'd be.
Sound too good to be true? It's not - and here's why.
Landmark is not a fee-for-service practice. We profit only when we create successful patient outcomes and high levels of satisfaction for our patients. As a result, our clinical teams can spend quality time caring for a smaller number of patients. Our business model allows us to give our patients all the time and care that they need.
