About The Position

Firefly Health is building a comprehensive health care and coverage model powered by relationship-driven care teams, a virtual and in-person clinical network, and a proprietary technology platform. The company aims to deliver clinical and financial health through accessible, coordinated care and a value-based model. The Virtual Primary Care Physician practices in an innovative, integrated, virtual-first primary care model as part of a multidisciplinary Care Team. The physician collaborates with Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Health Guides, Behavioral Health Specialists, and other clinical partners to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care.
