PreferCare is a dynamic and innovative startup dedicated to revolutionizing the healthcare industry. We are in the exciting phase of building a new team of Licensed Practical Nurses from the ground up, and we are looking for passionate and motivated individuals to be part of our journey. If you are ready to take your career to the next level, this is an extraordinary opportunity to be an integral part of the PreferCare clinical team where you can make an impact from day one!

PreferCare is seeking dedicated and compassionate Licensed Practical Nurses to join our dynamic healthcare team. In this role, you will provide exceptional patient care working with a team of other professionals and contribute to a positive and collaborative work environment. You will also have the unique opportunity to learn about and contribute to value based healthcare, an innovative approach that focuses on providing high quality care and patient outcomes.

Licensed Practical Nurses are critical members of the PreferCare clinical team, supported by our PreferCare Nurse Practitioners in providing a combination of in-home and virtual care ranging from preventive care to managing acute/chronic conditions, focusing on individuals with complex medical conditions who are at high risk for hospitalization or emergency department visits. In this role, you will be the main point of contact for our attributed patients and help connect them to the PreferCare programs, community-based services, and other supportive programs. You will conduct in-home patient visits and facilitate in-home telehealth encounters with PreferCare nurse practitioners to assess patients and help document all aspects of care, including care plans and summary notes for the clinical record. This role requires working independently and collaborating with nurse practitioners and physicians on the PreferCare team and with our partnering medical practices. This role is ideal for a Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive experience in providing patient care.
