About Matter Health

Matter Health delivers primary and preventive healthcare directly to older adults living in public housing communities. Our mission is simple: to improve healthcare access by meeting patients where they are and building trusted relationships within the communities we serve. As we rapidly expand across the Northeast, we are seeking mission-driven professionals who thrive in fast-paced, people-centered environments.

Total Healthcare. Where you live.

About the Role

Matter Health is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to support older adults in Springfield, MA.

At Matter Health, our NP's are more than just providers — they are Panel Owners. You will manage a dedicated panel of older adults as their ongoing primary care provider, building strong, lasting relationships within the communities you serve.

This is a fully community-based position with no traditional clinic home base. NP's work with a high degree of clinical autonomy while collaborating closely with an interdisciplinary care team and a dedicated Medical Director for support in complex cases.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide ongoing primary and preventive care to older adult patient populations
  • Manage and grow a dedicated patient panel within assigned communities
  • Deliver relationship-driven, patient-centered care in community settings
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary clinical and operational teams
  • Support initiatives in preventative care, chronic disease management, and care coordination
  • Utilize a combination of telehealth and in-person care delivery models to improve accessibility
  • Maintain accurate, timely EHR documentation and ensure coding specificity

Qualifications

Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner

Board Certification

  • NP (AANPCB or ANCC — family, adult, geriatric, or adult-gerontology)
  • Active DEA license and controlled substance registration, as required
  • 3+ years of clinical experience as an NP, preferably with aging or medically complex populations
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) certification
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (car stipend provided)
  • Experience with EHR documentation (athenahealth preferred)
  • Commitment to equitable, patient-centered care
  • Strongly Preferred

  • Experience in value-based care settings
  • Experience providing care in community-based, in-home, or non-traditional healthcare environments
  • Familiarity with MEAT documentation and chronic condition coding
  • Telehealth experience

Why Matter Health?

We believe that where someone lives should never determine the care they receive. Every team member at Matter Health is essential in improving healthcare access for older adults who have historically been underserved by traditional systems.

This is not just our mission — it’s our daily work.
