About Avance Care

As one of North Carolina's largest independent primary care networks with over 35 clinics spanning the Raleigh/Durham, Charlotte, and Wilmington regions, Avance Care is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare by delivering exceptional, inclusive, and whole-person care.

We believe this transformation starts with providers who feel valued, rewarded, and supported, which is why we actively eliminate burnout through premium benefits, a collaborative teamwork culture, and flexible scheduling that protects your work-life balance. By integrating traditional medicine with on-site behavioral health and nutrition services, we create an affirming, non-judgmental environment where you can move away from treating patients like numbers and focus on building deep, meaningful relationships.

Why Work for Avance Care?

We know that outstanding patient care starts with happy, supported providers. We offer premium compensation and structure your day to guarantee a healthy professional and personal balance through:

True Work-Life Balance: Maximum of 40 hours per week; which includes 36 hrs/wk patient facing and built in 4 hrs/wk for admin time.

Manageable Pace: An expected average patient load of just 2 visits per hour, giving you time to practice mindful medicine.

Onsite Collaborative Care: Work alongside an integrated team of onsite labs, behavioral health therapists, and nutritionists.

Innovative Technology: Work with a robust EMR system and integrated telehealth tools designed to make delivering care seamless.

Robust Administrative Support: Centralized care coordination, care management, and population health management handle the heavy lifting, so you can focus on patients.

Premium Benefits: We offer a top-tier compensation package featuring high earning potential through competitive salaries with productivity bonuses, plus comprehensive medical and dental insurance, 401(k) matching, and robust paid time off and holiday benefits.
