Description
Who is Gather Health?
Gather Health offers primary care with social and home-based support for the communities that need them most. Our approach ensures older adults feel supported to thrive every day. Our unique practice model allows our clinicians to treat the whole patient, and not just their clinical needs. We do this by having a dedicated care team that supports our clinicians by addressing our patients’ social determinants of health and providing the highest quality of care possible so that together, we can accomplish our ultimate goal of creating generational health and equity for communities across the country, one patient at a time.
Summary of the Primary Care Partner role: The older adults we serve experience challenges with social determinants of health and living, which impact their health. The Primary Care Partner will guide our patients to build their best lives according to their goals. They do this by providing a full spectrum of care while utilizing state-of-the-art technology and establishing trusted longitudinal care in our clinics and via telehealth. Working with other members of the care team, our "person-first" approach strives to create both individual and community wellness.
At Gather Health, we are building a new standard of care for older adults. We believe that true health is achieved by treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. Our innovative Social Primary Care model is designed to do just that for clinically and socially complex older adults—a population that has long been underserved. We don't just see patients; we build relationships and empower them, delivering care and community both in our state-of-the-art centers and in their own homes.
Why is Working at Gather Health Different?
This isn't just another primary care role. We've built a system designed to support our providers and prevent burnout, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your patients.
