    Description
    About Waymark
    Waymark is a mission-driven team of healthcare providers, technologists, and builders working to transform care for people with Medicaid benefits. We partner with communities to deliver technology-enabled, human-centered support that helps patients stay healthy and thrive. We're designing tools and systems that bring care directly to those who need it most-removing barriers and reimagining what's possible in Medicaid healthcare delivery.
    Our Values
    At Waymark, our values are the foundation of how we work, grow, and support one another:
    • Bold Builders: We tackle the toughest challenges in care delivery by harnessing the power of community and technology.

    • Experiment to Improve: We use data to inform decisions and continuously assess our performance.
    • Focused Urgency: Our mission drives us to act swiftly and relentlessly in pursuit of meaningful results.
    If this resonates with you, we invite you to bring your creativity, energy, and curiosity to Waymark.
