About The Position

Our Physicians support our enrolled geriatric participants Monday through Friday. Our Physician is responsible for the medical care of InnovAge's enrolled geriatric participants across a variety of settings, including but not limited to our Day Center clinic, participants’ homes, the nursing home, assisted living facilities and personal care boarding homes. Most participant visits occur at the InnovAge Center clinic, though some physicians may specialize in nursing home care. Close coordination of care with hospital-based providers is essential. InnovAge is dedicated to empowering seniors to live independently, allowing them to age in their own homes and communities safely. InnovAge offers an alternative to nursing homes through its Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), which provides enrolled seniors with customized healthcare and social support at PACE Adult Day Health Centers. These centers are staffed by medical professionals who are committed to creating personalized care plans for each participant. At InnovAge, our team members are our greatest asset and have a significant impact on the lives of our participants every day. When you join InnovAge, you'll work alongside talented, respectful, and passionate colleagues within a patient-centered care model. InnovAge is committed to equal opportunity and affirmative action, and we strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace.
