About the position
WellBe Senior Medical was founded in 2019 to provide a more effective and personalized healthcare experience for patients living with chronic conditions. Our home-based medical visits nurture all aspects of a patient's well-being so they can live better, feel healthier, and stay independent longer. With our mission at the forefront of everything we do, we aim to build our team with the most capable and compassionate individuals we can find. Named a Best Place to Work from Modern Healthcare, WellBe is a leading provider of in-home medical care and mental health services across the country! The WellBe care model is a Physician Led, Advanced Practice Provider driven geriatric care team focused on the care of the frail, poly-chronic, elderly Medicare Advantage patients. This population is typically underserved and very challenged with access to care. To address these problems, we have elected to bring the care to the patient, instead of trying to bring the patient to the care. Care is provided throughout the entire continuum of care - from chronic care and urgent care in the home, to hospital, to skilled nursing facility, to assisted living, to palliative care, to end of life care. WellBe's care teams' partner with the patient's primary care physician to provide concierge level geriatric medical care and social support in the home as well as delivering and coordinating across the entire care continuum.
