Job Description

Curana Health is a pioneering company dedicated to radically improving the health, happiness, and dignity of older adults. Established in 2021, Curana Health has quickly become a national leader in value-based care, serving over 200,000 seniors across more than 1,500 senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities in 32 states. The company specializes in offering an innovative approach to senior healthcare by integrating on-site primary care services, accountable care organizations, and Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans. These comprehensive solutions are designed to enhance health outcomes for seniors, streamline operational processes for senior living communities, and open new financial opportunities for operators.

Curana Health boasts a diverse workforce comprising over 1,000 clinicians, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants, alongside care coordinators, analysts, and other professionals united by a mission-driven culture to deliver proactive, high-quality care. The company’s commitment to transforming senior care is exemplified not only by its rapid growth and national reach but also by its dedication to leveraging advanced technology, predictive analytics, and AI-powered tools. These technologies help identify patient needs early and drive effective interventions that improve health outcomes while reducing hospitalizations.

The role of Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant at Curana Health is vital to the company’s mission. These professionals perform comprehensive health assessments directly in the communities where seniors live, such as skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living settings. The focus is on proactive, relationship-based care that fosters meaningful patient connections and improves quality of life for older adults. Unlike traditional healthcare roles, practitioners at Curana have greater autonomy and flexibility, supported by experienced physicians and a robust technological infrastructure that enhances clinical decision-making and streamlines workflows.

Practitioners engage in diagnosing, treating, and managing acute and chronic conditions with an emphasis on preventive care and long-term wellness. They develop individualized care plans, collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams, facility leadership, families, and specialists, and take part in initiatives that drive clinical excellence and reduce avoidable hospital readmissions. The organization values continuous learning and career growth, offering CME support, leadership development, and pathways for advancement.

Working at Curana Health means joining a team committed not only to outstanding clinical care but also to a supportive work environment that prioritizes provider well-being. With flexible scheduling, generous paid time off, competitive compensation including productivity incentives, and comprehensive benefits, the company fosters a balanced and rewarding professional experience. Curana Health's recognition as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the nation according to Inc. magazine demonstrates the strength of its business model and the impact of its innovative approach to senior healthcare. For candidates passionate about senior care and eager to practice at the top of their license in a mission-driven organization, Curana Health offers a unique and fulfilling opportunity to make a lasting difference.
