Job description
At ConvenientMD we are on a mission to make quality health and well-being more convenient for all – working to improve how patients and providers experience healthcare. Today, we are a full-service urgent care group making it easier for people to address their simple, immediate health needs at a reasonable cost. As we continue to grow, we are expanding our offering to include primary care.
We believe primary care needs to shift away from conventional thinking and old ways of working. People deserve thoughtful solutions that put their personal care needs at the center, proactively educate and connect them with resources, and help manage the confusion and complexity of downstream care.
