Medical Assistant - Primary Care

The Opportunity

We believe primary care needs to move beyond conventional thinking to truly center around each patient's personal needs. Our Advanced Primary Care (APC) model challenges the status quo, combining modern clinics with cutting-edge technology to provide high-quality, team-based care. By integrating in-person and virtual primary care with urgent care, we aim to deliver personalized, hands-on care that proactively educates, connects patients with resources, and simplifies the complexities of downstream care. Join us as a Medical Assistant (MA) and be part of this innovative approach to redefining healthcare.
