Houston, United States Imagine Pediatrics Full time
Who We Are

We are Imagine Pediatrics, a devoted and compassionate, multi-disciplinary pediatrician-led medical group that is creating a world where every child with complex medical conditions gets the care and support they deserve. Energized by our mission to reimagine pediatric health care, we are pioneering virtual-first care services that include care coordination and around-the-clock access to complex-care clinicians from home. We don't replace a child's existing care team. Instead, we collaborate to deliver continuous support to kids, so they can spend less time in the hospital and more time thriving at home and in their communities.

Every day we boldly challenge old approaches and seek out new and better ways to improve the health and lives of children with medical complexity. In partnership with caregivers, providers, and health plans, we break down the barriers that stand between families and quality care for their children. We know we can't solve every challenge in the lives of these kids, but we can work tirelessly to give them, their families, and other caregivers the help and relief they need, right when they need it. We know a better approach to pediatric health care is within reach, and we are committed to seizing it today.

What We Live By

We're guided by our five core values:
  • Children first. We put the best interests of children above all. We are uncompromising in our commitment to improving the lives of children and families by bringing the best care to them.
  • Earn trust. We cherish the trusting relationships we build with the children and families we serve, our partners, and each other. We seek first to understand and speak honestly.
  • Innovate today. We refuse to accept the way things have always been done. Children and families are waiting for our help and their bravery demands that we relentlessly challenge assumptions to develop new approaches.
  • Embrace humanity. We lead with empathy and authenticity, presuming competence and good intentions. When we stumble, we use the opportunity to learn and grow stronger.
  • One team, diverse perspectives. We work alongside families as one team towards a shared purpose. We champion diversity and acknowledge the contributions of others.
What You'll Do

In this role, you will provide robust, family-centered palliative care as a member of the interdisciplinary PATH ("Pain Management, Advocacy, Trust, and Hope") team at Imagine Pediatrics.
  • Patient facing care, which will include
    • Introducing patients and their families to the PATH service

    • End-of-life education and management, when indicated
    • Assessment of child and family coping, and referral to higher level of support where appropriate (e.g. behavioral health, social work, etc).
  • Regular interface with community providers, which will include:
    • Initial outreach to inform about PATH team referral, services offered by PATH team, and gather relevant clinical details
    • Post-visit outreach to disseminate PATH team care plans and anticipated follow-up
  • Hospice communication and management, which will include:
    • Placement of hospice referrals
    • Proactive and reactive engagement with families to describe the hospice benefit
    • Ongoing communication with pediatric hospice providers to ensure patient needs are being met and hospice support is effectively supplemented
    • Maintenance and dissemination of advance care planning documentation (e.g. OOH-DNR, POLST forms, etc)
    • Participation in quality improvement activities as assigned or indicated.
    • Design and implementation of programs which support bereaved caregivers and siblings.
What You Bring & How You Qualify
First and foremost, you're passionate and committed to reimagining pediatric health care and creating a world where every child with complex medical conditions gets the care and support they deserve.
  • Graduate of an accredited program for Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA-C) and hold an unrestricted NP or PA state license, including board/national certification.
  • Experience in pediatric palliative care (inpatient or outpatient) is preferred but not required.
  • Demonstrated experience working with life-threatening conditions, chronic disease, hospice and/or end-of-life care, and related situations.
  • Demonstrated experience working with family systems.
  • Ability to think critically about program development, and a willingness to be a leader in development of an innovative care model.
