Physician Assistant

Physician Assistant

At Oak Street Health, we're building a world of health around every consumer and surrounding ourselves with dedicated colleagues who are passionate about transforming health care. As the nation's leading health solutions company, we reach millions of Americans through our local presence, digital channels and more than 300,000 purpose-driven colleagues – caring for people where, when and how they choose in a way that is uniquely more connected, more convenient and more compassionate. And we do it all with heart, each and every day.

The purpose of a Physician Assistant at Oak Street Health is to provide effective and equitable value-based primary care to adults on Medicare to keep them happy, healthy, and out of the hospital. Physician Assistants see patients independently and collaborate with physicians, depending on the patients specific situation. Physician Assistants provide longitudinal care and build meaningful patient relationships; this creates trust and helps our patients understand and feel connected to their care plan.

Physician Assistants practice in our outpatient practices on a collaborative care team composed of a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant, medical assistants, a dedicated medical scribe, and support from registered nurses and care managers. We partner with a network of elite specialists and hospitals for specialty and acute care.
