Job description

myPlace Health is built around a simple but powerful belief: older adults deserve the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own communities. As a PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organization backed by SCAN Group, myPlace Health brings together customized medical care, social activities, and daily support for participants and their families – all under one roof.

Our centers are more than healthcare facilities. They are vibrant community hubs where participants are known by name, valued, and supported as whole people. Behind that experience is a dedicated, interdisciplinary team working together to coordinate care, remove barriers, and improve quality of life for some of the most medically and socially complex populations.

For employees, myPlace Health offers the opportunity to do deeply meaningful work in a highly collaborative setting. Team members are encouraged to contribute innovative ideas, and grow alongside a mission that prioritizes compassion, respect, and impact. The result is a culture where people feel connected—to their colleagues, their participants, and the communities they serve.

At myPlace Health, work is more than a job. It’s a shared commitment to honoring what matters most.

** This is a temporary full-time onsite position in Downtown, Los Angeles, CA 90057**

Are you an organized, detail-oriented, and compassionate professional who loves coordinating schedules and ensuring people get the care they need? As a Scheduler in our PACE program, you’ll play a key role in helping older adults access essential medical, therapy, and specialty services—all while working in a supportive, team-oriented environment where your contributions truly matter.

In this role, you’ll be the heartbeat of our scheduling operations, ensuring that participant appointments run smoothly, coordinating with our interdisciplinary care team, and making sure every detail is handled with care. Whether you’re scheduling new participant assessments, managing transportation logistics, or collaborating with providers, your work will directly support the well‑being of the seniors we serve.

If you thrive in a fast‑paced, mission‑driven setting, enjoy problem‑solving, and take pride in keeping things running efficiently, we’d love to welcome you to our team!

• Coordinate and Schedule Participant Appointments – Manage and confirm medical, dental, therapy, and specialty appointments while ensuring alignment with individualized care plans and regulatory timeframes (PACE, CMS, DHCS).
• Facilitate External Appointments – Schedule participant visits with specialists, diagnostic centers, and hospitals, ensuring all necessary referrals, authorizations, and transportation arrangements are in place. Track follow‑ups and keep caregivers and the IDT informed.

Identify transportation needs and coordinate with the Transportation Team to ensure smooth onboarding.

• Collaborate with Key Teams – Work closely with the Transportation, Home Care, Medical Records, and Clinic teams to remove scheduling barriers and improve participant care coordination.
• Liaison Between Key Departments – Serve as the primary point of contact between the Senior Center Manager, Clinic Staff, Medical Records, Home Care, and Transportation Coordinators, ensuring smooth scheduling workflows.
• Participant Communication & Follow‑Up – Place confirmation calls to participants for external provider appointments, ensuring they have all necessary details and support.
• Manage Scheduling Conflicts & Urgent Requests – Proactively identify and resolve appointment conflicts, last‑minute cancellations, and urgent scheduling needs to ensure continuity of care.
• Maintain Accurate Documentation – Enter and update appointment details in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) or scheduling software, ensuring compliance with internal and regulatory documentation standards.
• Other duties as assigned – Adapt to the evolving needs of the PACE program and support additional scheduling‑related tasks as needed.
