To achieve our mission, we collaborate with community-based organizations, local providers, and health plans.

While our headquarters is in Bethesda, MD, our teams are distributed across the country.  If you’re eager to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, to help correct long-standing disparities in health care, join us. 

About the role:

Our Float Advanced Practice Clinicians are a key part of our core care model supporting  our mission to provide complete dignified care to every patient we serve by providing coverage for temporary staffing gaps and high patient volumes. 

Each of our patients are followed by a longitudinal care pod which includes a team consisting of an Advanced Practice Clinician, Community Health Workers, and Patient Experience navigators who care for patients in the home and community. This team is responsible for providing and coordinating holistic, patient-centered care with complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs to improve health outcomes, wellbeing, and maximize healthy days at home. Our care pods are supported by Physicians, Social Workers, RNs, Behavioral Health Clinicians, Psychiatrists, and Pharmacists who are pulled in as needed.  

The Float APC position is a hybrid role that does not carry their own patient panel but rather supports our longitudinal care pods by providing clinical coverage for pod APCs when needed to support our medically complex patient population.  This will include delivering excellent in-home and virtual care for initial visits, follow up visits, and occasionally urgent care visits. The Float APC will work closely with our longitudinal care pods to ensure appropriate clinical management and handoff of patients.
