Job Description

Company Overview:   

¡Vamos! Health  was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a healthy and fulfilling life. We provide primary care and navigational services in Spanish and English. 

¡Vamos! Health is bringing forward-thinking teammates along on a novel healthcare journey: a membership model where our patients receive a level of attention they won’t find anywhere else. No insurance is required to be a member; patients pay a predictable monthly fee. Our team members who interact with patients are fully bilingual in Spanish and English. We offer primary care for all ages in-person, over the phone, and by text message. Community Health Navigators support our members with services beyond just clinical care. At some locations, we also take Medicaid! Healthcare is a family affair. Our goal is to keep mixed-Medicaid eligible families visiting the doctor together and to provide continuity of care as individuals fall in and out of eligibility.
