Job description

Gather HealthBoston-area locations | Relocation assistance available

Practice medicine the way it was meant to be.

At most practices, you're on a treadmill — overbooked, under-supported, and constantly chasing the next patient. At Gather Health, we built something different on purpose.

We're a Social Primary Care practice serving clinically and socially complex older adults in underserved Boston communities. Our model gives you the time, the team, and the tools to actually treat the whole person — not just their chart.

Panel size is capped at 750 patients.Full stop.

What makes this role different

A real care team behind you You're the clinical quarterback, but you're not working alone. Your team includes:

• Gather Guides— community-based partners who address social determinants of health and connect patients to resources
• Medical Technician Partners (EMTs/Paramedics)— deployed into patients' homes for post-discharge follow-ups, chronic condition monitoring, and home safety assessments, reporting directly back to you
• Medical Assistants, Patient Benefits Partners, and Practice Operations Partners— handling the administrative and clinical support so you can focus on care

Schedule flexibility built in

Administrative days can be completed remotely. We're designed to support sustainable, long-term practice — not burnout.

Value-based care, not fee-for-service volume

Our model frees you from the productivity treadmill. Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives aligned with patient outcomes — not visit counts.

Patients who benefit most from what you do best

Our patients are older adults navigating complex medical and social challenges. This is longitudinal, relationship-driven primary care with real continuity — in our state-of-the world centers, via telehealth, and in patients' homes.

A well‑funded, growing organization

Founded in 2022 and backed by Maverick Ventures and Khosla, we're scaling rapidly and building something durable. Our leadership team has a proven track record building and growing transformative primary care platforms.

Our mission

We exist to partner with patients in building their best lives. We believe true health means treating the whole person — clinically, socially, and holistically. Our goal is to create generational health and equity for communities across the country, one patient at a time.
