Medical Director, PACE

About Seen Health

Seen Health is revolutionizing how senior care is delivered through the PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model. Backed by top VCs, Seen Health is a culturally-focused, technology-enabled healthcare organization that integrates comprehensive medical care and social support with a high-touch, interdisciplinary approach.

Here at Peak Recruiter, we are excited to partner with Seen Health as an extension of their team while conducting this search for a talented and passionate Medical Director.

Our mission is to empower seniors to age in place with dignity and provide their families peace of mind. We are building upon a proven Home and community-based services model to create a culturally competent and scalable PACE program. We are also building a comprehensive operating system focused on data and workflows that span across systems, processes, people, and care contexts. We want to empower our clinicians and staff with tools that deliver relevant data at the time and site of care and enable them to deliver exceptional care to our participants, which improves clinical outcomes, participant & provider satisfaction, and ultimately our strength as an organization.

We are a mission-driven, multidisciplinary team with deep healthcare, technology, and operations expertise, each inspired by our own personal stories of caring for seniors in our lives. Our name, Seen Health, was chosen to reflect our commitment to providing the highest standard of care to underserved older adults while respecting and incorporating their individual beliefs, heritage, and values so that they can truly be seen.
