Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant, Medicaid Clinic

Site: Mass General Brigham Community Physicians, Inc.

 

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.

 

The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high quality, low cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring health care closer to patients while lowering total health care costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group also offers outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion. We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.

Rooted in research and community need, we are proud to announce the launch of a new Medicaid-focused clinic within our Riverwalk Internal Medicine practice in Lawrence, MA. This program is designed to expand access to affordable, high-quality care for approximately 800 Medicaid ACO patients who have not previously received services through our Medical Group, as well as existing Medicaid ACO patients with urgent or same-day medical needs.

To support this important work, we are hiring two Advanced Practice Providers (Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants), along with additional clinical and administrative team members. These APPs will play a vital role in building strong, lasting relationships with patients—offering continuity of care and health education to help patients manage complex health conditions and achieve better outcomes. In reviewing care plans, the APP will have support and oversight from a Lead Physician and will also be involved in precepting the various wraparound support providers (community health workers, social workers, as well as nurses and medical assistants) who will be conducting community outreach. If you are driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact and be part of a team that values patient-centered care, we invite you to apply.

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Advanced Practice Provider with weekly schedules consisting of 36 hours of clinical, patient-facing time, and 4 hours of administrative time. The clinic hours will be Monday-Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. We are located at 500 Merrimack Street in Lawrence, MA 01843.
