Job Summary

The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity established by Mass General Brigham to provide patient-centered, high-quality, and innovative community-based ambulatory care. This initiative is part of Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy, which aims to bring health care services closer to patients while simultaneously reducing overall health care costs. The Medical Group offers a comprehensive array of services, including primary and specialty care, behavioral and mental health services, and urgent care. Care is delivered both digitally and at physical locations across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. In addition, the group provides outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion services. There is a strong commitment to ensuring patients receive coordinated and comprehensive experience at all locations, guaranteeing that each patient has access to the appropriate level of care throughout the system’s delivery sites.

The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is focused on eliminating barriers to care. Guided by research and community needs, the organization is launching a new Medicaid-focused wrap around clinic. This program is designed to increase access to affordable, high-quality care for approximately 1,600 Medicaid Accountable Care Organization (ACO) patients who may require home-based provider services.

To support the launch of this program, the organization is hiring four Advanced Practice Providers, as well as additional clinical and administrative team members, to deliver care within the community at patient homes and other settings. We anticipate these APPs will see patients in our South Region with our most urgent needs currently in the Pembroke. These APPs will be the primary care providers (PCPs) of record and instrumental in building strong and lasting relationships with patients by delivering full spectrum primary care services, providing continuity of care, managing complex health conditions and offering education to help patients understand and participate in their care to achieve improved outcomes.

The APPs will collaborate with a physician team member. Additionally, the APP will have the opportunity to work with various interdisciplinary providers, such as community health workers, social workers, nurses, and medical assistants who will extend the reach and effectuate the plan of care by conducting coordinated community outreach.

The Medical Group is seeking an experienced, flexible, full-time, 40-hour Advanced Practice Provider whose weekly schedule will be comprised of home-based and community-based care, complemented by some in-clinic care. This provider will be assigned a panel of approximately 400 patients in Pembroke and surrounding communities.

The organization encourages individuals who are passionate about making a meaningful impact and contributing to a team that values patient-centered care to apply for these positions.
