    10,000 Sign-on Bonus for External Candidates

    Optum Home & Community Care, part of the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, is creating something new in health care.

    We are uniting industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care model that holistically addresses an individual's physical, mental and social needs – helping patients access and navigate care anytime and anywhere.

    Landmark Health was created to transform how healthcare is delivered to the most medically vulnerable members in our community.

    Our medical group provides home-based medical care to chronically ill patients, many of whom are ill-equipped to navigate our overwhelming healthcare system.

    Because many of our patients are frail and elderly, we deliver care primarily in the comfort of their home.

    Our Program is also offered to eligible patients at no incremental financial cost to them . We are not a fee-for- service practice; we benefit economically only if we deliver high-quality patient outcomes and satisfaction.

    As a result, our clinical teams can spend quality-time caring for a smaller number of patients, giving all patients the space, respect, compassion and care they deserve.

    These teams are led by Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants, with supporting care provided by RN Nurse Care Managers, Social Workers, Pharmacists, Behavioral Health, and other employed team members.
