Who is Gather Health?
Gather Health is a collective of outreach partners, care partners, clinicians and, most importantly, patient partners who work together to reshape lives and communities. We bring hands-on social and medical care to our patients and work around their needs, both within our care facilities and in their homes. We work alongside local leaders to build communities and provide tailored care experiences that serve the seniors that live within them. When we Gather, we show love, compassion, community, and care.
What is this role about?
Our older adult patients living in communities that we serve are faced with a variety of social challenges, called "Social Determinants of Health", or SDOH. These challenges include a variety of difficulties that stem from lack of resources; and one of the examples is lack of transportation. At Gather Health, we have built a business model that allows these patients to have consistent access to quality healthcare, by creating a system by which we provide clinical care not only in our physical clinics, but also in their homes. Internally called "Medical Technician Partner", this individual will provide in-home care and support for our patients and be the eyes, ears, and the hands of our medical teams in the home. They will work collaboratively with our primary care providers, Gather Guide Partners (who serve as a liaison between our patients and our clinics), and clinic administrators, as part of the care-team model. The MTP will play a significant role in our ability to provide the best care and support possible with a deep sense of commitment and compassion - and ultimately achieve our vision of creating equity in healthcare.
What are some of the day-to-day duties?
- The day-in-the-life of an MTP will vary, depending on the needs of our patients. Some of the day-to-day duties will include but are not limited to:
