Geriatric NP/PA PRN w/Georgia License

Sage Health At-Home is challenging the status quo of transactional, episodic care by transforming care delivery for underserved and overlooked older adults and meeting them where they are and where they want to be seen. We are reimagining care delivery for vulnerable older adults who face complex and dynamic healthcare challenges living in medically underserved communities in rural & semi-rural areas in Georgia.

Our mission is to provide equitable, compassionate, & personalized care wherever, whenever, and however senior adults want that makes a difference in their lives and allows them to live the life they want to live and age-in place for as long as they want.

People are at the center of our healthcare system and it requires compassionate people coming together to provide better outcomes and a more satisfying experience for patients, their caregivers and family and providers. Digital health technologies are great but relationships will always be at the center of how healthcare is delivered. Healthcare is one space where you are not going to be able to get rid of the human-to-human interaction. This is where you can make a difference!
