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

As a PACE Medical Director, you’ll play a pivotal role in helping seniors live more independent, fulfilling lives — all while leading a team deeply committed to compassionate, high-quality care. You’ll work side by side with an interdisciplinary team to ensure every participant receives outstanding, personalized care that truly centers on what matters most to them.

In this role, you’ll oversee day-to-day clinical operations at your assigned center(s) and serve as the accountable medical leader, guiding and supporting your clinical team to achieve exceptional outcomes. You’ll take ownership of participant care delivery and quality, championing strong clinical results and ensuring a seamless experience for every participant and their caregivers.

Your impact won’t stop at direct care — you’ll also shape the future of our program through thoughtful oversight of our quality improvement initiatives, always striving to raise the bar for excellence.

This is an incredible opportunity for a mission-driven physician who thrives in fast-paced, team-based environments, brings a patient-centered mindset, and is deeply passionate about serving high-risk seniors and frail older adults.

If you’re looking to make a lasting difference while working alongside an inspiring, collaborative community — this is the place for you.

What Does Success Look Like As Our Medical Director?

  • Clinical Care and Oversight
  • Be a champion for exceptional care. Deliver evidence-based, high-quality, and cost-effective medical services to PACE participants, always aligning with our mission, the latest clinical standards, and regulatory guidelines.
  • Make a hands-on impact. Provide comprehensive medical care — from thorough evaluations and accurate diagnoses to thoughtful treatment plans and seamless coordination with specialists and hospital teams.
  • Set the standard for documentation. Maintain meticulous, clear, and compliant records to ensure every participant’s care story is complete and accessible.
  • Lead and grow an outstanding team. Recruit, train, supervise, and mentor physicians, advanced practitioners, and transitions of care coordinators, fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration.
  • Empower our extended care network. Train and oversee contracted primary care physicians, advanced practitioners, and specialists, ensuring high standards and consistency across every touchpoint.

Quality and Utilization Management and Oversight

  • Drive quality at every level. Oversee the development and implementation of the Quality Improvement and Performance Improvement Program (QAPI) in collaboration with key leaders and dedicated market staff.
  • Turn data into action. Monitor utilization trends, such as inpatient hospitalizations and ER visits, and set clear outcome targets to guide improvement efforts.
  • Champion participant well-being. Design and implement interventions that support participants’ health, enhance quality of life, and boost satisfaction for both participants and caregivers — all while making the most of program resources.
  • Ensure excellence through accountability. Oversee periodic chart audits to monitor quality of care, regulatory compliance, utilization plans, medication practices, and potential areas of risk.
  • Secure the right resources. Ensure primary care provider staffing is robust enough to meet participant needs and regulatory standards.
  • Keep care accessible around the clock. Oversee after-hours on-call arrangements to ensure 24 / 7 provider availability, balancing participant and provider satisfaction.
  • Guide and support your team. Provide consultation on grievances, appeals, and IDT decision-making; evaluate medical-related grievances as needed (unless a conflict of interest exists).
  • Stay at the forefront. Remain up to date on current literature and best practices, recommending policy and procedural adjustments as needed.
  • Raise the bar for partner care. Monitor quality of care provided by key contracted partners, including hospitals, SNFs, and long-term care facilities.
  • Build bridges in the community. Develop collaborative relationships with community physicians and providers to foster strong working relationships and encourage participant referrals.
  • Inspire continuous growth. Promote teamwork, accountability, and professional development of PACE primary care staff through group meetings, one-on-one coaching, and other engagement strategies.
  • Be a voice for quality. Participate in the Quality Committee and other committees or workgroups as needed to drive organizational improvement.
  • Step in where needed. Perform additional duties as assigned that fall within the scope of your professional license, supporting the team and participants wherever your expertise is needed most.

    • What Does An Ideal Candidate Look Like?

  • Driven by purpose. Deep passion and mission-oriented commitment to serving high-risk seniors and frail older adults.
  • Thrives in dynamic settings. Energized by fast-paced environments and embraces a collaborative, team-based culture.
  • Patient-centered at heart. Brings a strong focus on what matters most to each patient, empowering them to achieve their personal care goals.
  • Clinically credentialed. MD or DO required, with active board certification in geriatrics, complex care, home-based care, palliative care, internal medicine, family medicine, or a related clinical area (and maintains certification throughout employment).
  • Experienced in elder care models. Previous experience in a PACE model or similar integrated care environments.
  • Proven clinical experience. At least five years practicing medicine, including a minimum of two years working directly with elderly or frail populations.
  • Licensed and ready. Holds a current, unrestricted medical license in the states where we operate.
  • Credentialed to prescribe. Current DEA certificate.
  • Prepared to protect. Up-to-date immunization records.
  • Language skills that connect. Bilingual abilities (English and Spanish) preferred.
