Primary Care Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant

About myPlace HealthmyPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-aligned healthcare leaders and organizations that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors. We specialize in providing value-based, comprehensive care and coverage for older adults with significant needs so they can thrive in the homes they love and in the communities they cherish.  Our mission is simple: to enable older adults to live the independent lives they deserve. We pursue this mission through our myPlace PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, which provides seamless primary care, integrated health plan coverage, personalized social engagement, and customized services delivered in the participant’s preferred place.   myPlace Health is building a mission-driven team that shares our passion for redefining the way older adults experience care as they “age in place” in the community. This is a unique opportunity to take on one of our country’s most challenging healthcare problems and join a fast-growing, dynamic team as we prepare to scale our mission to serve more markets. 
About this Role Are you a mission-driven healthcare professional with a passion for helping seniors live their best, most independent lives? If so, we invite you to join our team!

Together, you’ll develop and carry out care plans that truly make a difference in the lives of older adults.
As a Primary Care Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) you’ll meet participants where they are—whether that’s at the center, clinic, their home, virtually, or an external site of care. With a holistic approach to health and wellness, you’ll empower participants to achieve their goals, improve their health outcomes, and thrive in their communities.
This is more than a job; it’s a calling to serve with compassion, build meaningful connections, and be part of a team dedicated to transforming lives.
