About Landmark Health 

There is a care gap in America for those who need extra time with medical providers and easier access to care. Landmark cares for this group—people perhaps much like your parents, neighbors, and elders in your community—those with multiple chronic conditions. 

Landmark Health is transforming how healthcare is delivered to patients with complex medical situations. As a national medical group, we provide home-based medical services to simplify care for those who need it most. 

Want to practice in a way that truly impacts the lives of patients with complex, chronic conditions? 

Imagine if you will…. 

You visit your small panel of patients in the comfort of their own homes. You spend all the time needed to ensure your patients’ health issues are addressed. You create a friendly and trusting relationship with each patient and his or her family. You have the support of a collaborative, multidisciplinary clinical team who works in the field with you. And you do it all?at no added cost?to the patient. 

Sound too good to be true? It’s not—and here’s why. 

Landmark is not a fee-for-service practice. We profit only when we create successful patient outcomes and high levels of satisfaction for our patients. As a result, our clinical teams can spend quality time caring for a smaller number of patients. Our business model allows us to give our patients all the time and care that they need. 

And we’ve been very successful at this.?Landmark is now the nation’s largest risk-based, in-home medical group, with operations in markets across the US. 

As a Landmark nurse practitioner or physician assistant, you’ll manage a small panel of patients with multiple, complex conditions, in partnership with a nurse care manager (RN). Landmark home visits typically last about 40 minutes (initial visits even longer), which allows you to talk to the patient, ask questions, complete medication management, provide disease education, and so on. 

As a clinical healthcare hero, you will: 

• Perform comprehensive initial assessments for newly enrolled patients 
• Manage patient care on a longitudinal basis, delivering proactive care to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations 
• Diagnose, prescribe and treat patients, consistent with standard of care 
• Partner with the patient’s primary care provider and specialists to deliver integrated care 
• Participate in a rotated on-call program for home-based patient support after-hours 

• Efficient and thorough charting is key to this role 

And there’s more.?In addition to the satisfaction of providing your patients with the best possible care, you’ll personally benefit from: 

• Landmark’s excellent compensation and benefits package,?including bonus program, market-leading paid time off, CME reimbursement, auto allowance, childcare benefits, and more. 
• A team-based clinical environment,?working with clinicians who are passionate about fixing our broken system of care. 
• High job satisfaction and a rewarding clinical model—In our outcomes-oriented model, we?emphasize high-quality clinical outcomes, rather than the number of patients seen. 

• Gaining geriatric expertise—Landmark invests in provider education, focusing on geriatrics and home-based medical care. You will be paired with a Landmark physician for mentoring and supervision. 

• Completion of Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA-C) accredited program 
• 2+ years of clinical NP or PA experience preferred 
• Knowledge of clinical standards of care 
• Current unrestricted NP or PA state license, and current state driver’s license 
• Passion for delivering care to patients with complex, chronic illnesses 
• Willingness to conduct house calls 
• Must be board certified at the time of hire or able to obtain board certification within 2 years of hire
• Access to reliable transportation to conduct patient visits required; if you are driving a vehicle, you must comply with all the terms of the Landmark Motor Vehicle Safety policy

In order to work with potentially vulnerable patient populations and to keep employees healthy while caring for patients, all patient-facing employees of Landmark must provide evidence of the following required immunizations/vaccinations as a condition of employment: TB, MMR, Tdap, and Influenza. Declinations may be accommodated based on your medical history, an allergy or religious beliefs.
