Redefine What It Means to Practice Medicine Are you a Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about truly patient-centered care? Do you thrive on solving complex clinical challenges, building meaningful relationships with patients, and seeing the direct impact of your interventions over time? At PACE, this is more than a provider role. It is an opportunity to become a clinical leader within an interdisciplinary team dedicated to helping older adults remain safely and independently in their homes and communities.

You'll work hand-in-hand with physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, dietitians, home care professionals, and other disciplines to ensure participants receive the comprehensive support they need. This collaborative model gives you the rare opportunity to see your care plans come to life and experience the measurable outcomes that result from truly coordinated care. If you're looking for a role where you can influence outcomes beyond the exam room, lead complex care coordination efforts, and help close gaps before they become barriers to health and well-being, PACE offers an incredible opportunity to do just that. Here, every team member shares accountability for participant success, creating an environment where innovation, collaboration, and proactive care are not only encouraged but expected. This position is ideal for clinicians who love a challenge, embrace problem-solving, and are energized by the opportunity to build, improve, and transform care delivery. You'll have the ability to practice at the top of your license while partnering with a highly engaged interdisciplinary team that supports your clinical decision-making and helps ensure participants receive the right care at the right time.
