Company Description:
Greater Good Health is a community of healthcare providers, operators, and builders whose mission is to address health disparities and reimagine senior healthcare. To do this, we partner with payers to bring value-based primary care to underserved communities and work alongside risk-bearing organizations to develop innovative, value-based clinical programs – all designed exclusively for older adults and their unique healthcare needs. Grounded in our mission and core values, we are building a better, simpler healthcare experience for the patients we serve and the providers who care for them.
While providing more access to care, we understand that Nurse Practitioners need optimal work-life alignment to provide the best care for the greater good. GGH’s goal is to support the modern-day healthcare professional to live fully in both their professional and personal lives.
If this vision resonates with you, we hope you consider bringing your passion, your energy, your curiosity to Greater Good Health.
