WelbeHealth’s PACE (All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program provides seniors with the opportunity to continue living in their homes and in their communities. Our innovative and comprehensive range of medical services is what ignites our passion to treat the whole person and not the symptoms! We employ a collaborative interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach to evaluate and guide participant care, which is key to WelbeHealth’s values, team culture, and mission.
Our PACE program serves as our patients’ health insurer as well as directly provides comprehensive primary care and social services to keep them living safely in their communities. Reporting to the Chief Clinical Officer, the Medical Director will be at the center of an IDT, providing care. PACE is an ideal job for a clinician, as it allows you to spend ample time engaging with and truly caring for patients without the mis-aligned incentives of fee-for-service.
