Job description

About Midland Care Connection

Midland Care Connection is a not-for-profit, community-based organization dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Our mission centers on “meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions,” and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.

PACE Program

Designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities, the PACE program provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medication management, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity.

Physician

Provides comprehensive primary and geriatric medical care to older adults, supporting their ability to remain healthy, independent, and engaged in their communities. As a core member of the interdisciplinary care team, the physician conducts medical assessments, diagnoses and manages acute and chronic conditions, develops individualized treatment plans, and oversees participants’ overall healthcare needs. The role requires close collaboration with nurses, therapists, social workers, pharmacists, and caregivers to coordinate services across medical, behavioral, and social domains. Physicians also play a key leadership role in care planning, preventive health initiatives, medication management, and transitions of care, ensuring participants receive integrated, person-centered services that enhance quality of life, optimize health outcomes, and support aging with dignity and independence.
