Job description

Clinical Director, Physician Assistant

PINE PARK HEALTH MANAGEMENT INC Oakland, California, United States

About this position

Pine Park Health is a value-based primary care practice revolutionizing healthcare for senior living community residents. We empower seniors to get healthy, stay healthy, and lead lives they love through a care model designed with everyone in mind — patients, families, community staff, providers, and payers.

Our approach brings healthcare directly to seniors' homes, offering prevention, screening, chronic condition management, lab work, and diagnostic testing in the comfort of their apartments. With weekly community visits, our teams provide consistent care while collaborating closely with facility staff to address comprehensive health needs. We've eliminated unnecessary barriers to urgent care through same/next-day appointments, helping seniors avoid emergency rooms and hospitalizations where they risk exposure to additional health concerns.

Today, over 185+ communities across Arizona, California, and Nevada trust Pine Park Health, and we're rapidly expanding our reach and impact.

If you're mission-driven and passionate about transforming senior healthcare, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference!
