Optum Home & Community Care, part of the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, is creating something new in health care.

We are uniting industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care model that holistically addresses an individual’s physical, mental and social needs helping patients access and navigate care anytime and anywhere.

As a team member of our Landmark product, we help bring home-based medical care to complex, chronic patients. This life-changing work helps give older adults more days at home.

We’re connecting care to create a seamless health journey for patients across care settings. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

As a Landmark Health Provider, now a part of the Optum family, you visit your panel of patients in the comfort of their own homes.

You spend all the time needed to ensure your patients’ health issues are addressed. You create a friendly and trusting relationship with each patient and his or her family.

You have the support of a collaborative, multidisciplinary clinical team who works in the field with you. And you do it all at no added cost to the patient.

Landmark is not a fee-for-service practice. We create successful patient outcomes and high levels of satisfaction for our patients.

As a result, our clinical teams can spend quality time caring for a smaller number of patients.

Work Schedule : Mon-Fri from 8am-5pm ET with additional on-call responsibilities

As an Advanced Practice Provider, you will :

• Manage chronic illnesses in a complex elderly population with multimorbid conditions focused on wellness, avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations and ER visits, providing patient education about disease processes, improving overall quality of care, and increasing patient satisfaction in the healthcare system

By observing your patients in their homes, you will gain valuable insights into aspects of their lives - sometimes subtle, but always important - that otherwise may never be revealed in a traditional care setting.
