Job Description

Come Build with Us! NEW PACE Clinic in Danville projected to open 2/2027!

Centra’s PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a nationally
recognized model of care serving adults aged 55 and older in our community. The
mission of PACE is to deliver person-centered care in the setting that’s most
appropriate for each participant—whether that’s in their own home, with family,
in long-term care, or assisted living.

PACE is a capitated model of care, which means there are no productivity
metrics, only a focus on delivering the care each participant truly needs.
Everything is coordinated with a dedicated interdisciplinary team of providers,
nurses, dietitians, physical and occupational therapists, social workers,
activities coordinators, and transport staff.

Centra’s PACE program is seeking a dedicated physician to join our team and help
shape the future of our care model. This is a unique opportunity to be part of
an innovative program where comprehensive care is delivered in a community-based
setting.

If you value collaboration and are passionate about team-based care that
prioritizes people over numbers, consider making PACE your home.
