About the role

At Curana Health, we're on a mission to radically improve the health, happiness, and dignity of older adults. As a national leader in value-based care, we offer senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities a wide range of solutions (including on-site primary care services, Accountable Care Organizations, and Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans) proven to enhance health outcomes, streamline operations, and create new financial opportunities. Founded in 2021, we've grown quickly—now serving 200,000+ seniors in 1,500+ communities across 32 states. Our team includes more than 1,000 clinicians alongside care coordinators, analysts, operators, and professionals from all backgrounds, all working together to deliver high-quality, proactive solutions for senior living operators and those they care for. Ranked #147 on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, we're just getting started. If you're looking to make a meaningful impact on the senior healthcare landscape, you're in the right place.

At Curana Health, our Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are trusted clinical leaders who bring proactive, relationship-based care directly to seniors where they live. Through our innovative care model, you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful patient relationships, improve outcomes, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, and make a lasting impact on the lives of older adults. Unlike traditional healthcare settings, you'll practice with greater autonomy, enjoy a flexible work environment, and be supported by experienced physicians, operational leaders, and advanced technology designed to help you deliver exceptional care.
