What are the responsibilities and job description for the PACE Scheduler position at myPlace Health?
About myPlace Health
myPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-aligned healthcare leaders and organizations that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors. We specialize in providing value-based, comprehensive care and coverage for older adults with significant needs so they can thrive in the homes they love and in the communities they cherish.
Our mission is simple: to enable older adults to live the independent lives they deserve. We pursue this mission through our myPlace PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, which provides seamless primary care, integrated health plan coverage, personalized social engagement, and customized services delivered in the participant’s preferred place.
myPlace Health is building a mission-driven team that shares our passion for redefining the way older adults experience care as they “age in place” in the community. This is a unique opportunity to take on one of our country’s most challenging healthcare problems and join a fast-growing, dynamic team as we prepare to scale our mission to serve more markets.
About this Role
Are you an organized, detail-oriented, and compassionate professional who loves coordinating schedules and ensuring people get the care they need? As a Scheduler in our PACE program, you’ll play a key role in helping older adults access essential medical, therapy, and specialty services—all while working in a supportive, team-oriented environment where your contributions truly matter.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven setting, enjoy problem-solving, and take pride in keeping things running efficiently, we’d love to welcome you to our team!
