Remote Primary Care Coordinator (Medical Assistant)
Welcome to Pine Park Health!
About Us
Pine Park Health is a value-based primary care practice that is redesigning how residents of senior living communities get or stay healthy and lead a life they love. We’re on a mission to dramatically improve healthcare for seniors by building a new model of care that’s designed around everyone involved — patients, families, community staff members, providers, and payers. We’ve started by providing regular prevention and screening, care for chronic conditions, lab work, and diagnostic testing to patients in their apartments. We visit each community frequently to see patients and collaborate on patient health needs with staff. We also make it easier for patients to get care urgently with same-day or next-day care, helping them avoid unnecessary trips to the ER or hospital. Over 185 communities across Arizona, California, and Nevada work with Pine Park Health today and we’re growing quickly to expand our reach and impact. Investors include First Round Capital, Google’s AI fund, Canvas Ventures, Foundation Capital, Y Combinator, and Susa.
