Job Details

Description:

Remedy currently provides both in-home urgent care visits in addition to wellness visits (IV fluids and micronutrients, IM micronutrient injections, testosterone replacement, peptide therapy, medically managed weight loss, and more). At Remedy we believe in the following principles:

• The Patient. The patient's needs and voice matter. We believe in an integrated and partnership approach to total health and wellness where we leverage education and the best available evidence together with a clinician’s expertise and a patient’s values and preferences in making personal health care decision.
• The patient should not feel rushed nor have to wait. We respect the time and sense of urgency of the patient.
• Where the patient lives should not impact the quality of care. No matter the weather, the location, or time, we are here to serve.

At Remedy, we believe that      many minor injuries and illnesses can be best treated in the comfort of the patients home with our mobile services. This allows stay at home parents, families, and employed family members to receive timely care without disruption to their schedule. There is no need to find childcare or to take time off work to be treated for minor conditions!

We are proud to offer a comprehensive package including salary, incentive bonus structure, PTO and benefits.
