About The Position
At our agency, we care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes.

You will attend discharge/multidisciplinary rounds in acute care, ambulatory and/or other settings within the health system to share your expertise and to assist the patient in transition of care from one setting to the next within the health system.
