About The Position

If you’ve felt the pressures of traditional practice, chasing volume instead of shaping outcomes, Wider Circle may be for you. Patients leave the hospital, and the system fractures: families scramble, meds get muddled, follow-up falls through, and another admission happens. The system wasn’t built for these moments. We started Wider Care+ because it simply wasn’t enough. Wider Circle delivers community-rooted, relationship-driven care for older adults and clinically complex populations by aligning clinical insight with trusted, community-based support. Wider Care+ is our new pilot that pairs physicians, Community Health Workers, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and care navigators to create a coordinated, humane path forward. You are the clinical entry point—the comprehensive assessment that sets the foundation for real, ongoing intervention. As a Consulting Clinician for Wider Care+, you’ll conduct initial telehealth assessments that serve as the clinical gateway for members newly enrolled in the pilot. Each visit confirms clinical needs, synthesizes the medical and social context, identifies barriers to care, and establishes prioritized clinical goals for the care team to implement over the course of months of support. Your assessment directly shapes the member’s care journey. This role is ideal for clinicians interested in innovative care delivery, population health, and collaborative, whole-person models of care.
