Whittier CA United States Welcome Health, Inc Full time

Title: Physician Assistant for team-based mobile Primary Care Practice for Seniors 

What We’re About

We exist to eliminate the health obstacles that prevent seniors from achieving what matters most. And we believe it all starts in the home, where we deliver primary care that combines the science of aging, modern technology, and the warmth of the kitchen table so the people we serve can spend less time feeling like patients and more time living as their best selves. 

It’s an ambitious goal that requires a team built from extraordinary and like-minded people who are big-hearted, determined, and patient-centered problem solvers who thrive in team environments and who prioritize integrity, empathy and careful stewardship of the resources needed for great patient care. “Doing the right thing” means doing well by our patients - first, last and always. 

Welcome Health delivers home-based primary care directly to older adults in the greater Los Angeles area. Founded in the science and art of geriatric medicine, the team at Welcome Health believes that the best primary care is anchored on what matters most to each person. Our care model recognizes the unique needs of older adults. In addition to preventative care and chronic disease management, we focus on aging-related issues that significantly impact the quality of life of our seniors, such as mobility limitations, cognitive impairment, incontinence issues, and polypharmacy.

In our physician-led care model, physician assistants partner closely with physicians to implement the care plan for each patient within a shared patient panel. Because we care for home-bound patients who otherwise have difficulty getting to the doctor, the majority of the work associated with this position will occur in the field, caring for patients in their homes.
