Why Join Grace at Home?

Grace at Home is a provider-led, community-based health and care partner dedicated to improving the health and well-being of those who need care the most, with a deep commitment to high-needs, urban and rural communities. Our local physicians, nurses, and caregivers work together to serve people and the communities they live in, beyond just treating symptoms. We remove barriers by delivering personalized care as close to home as possible, often in-home, because we know a deep understanding of our patient’s race, culture, and environment is critical to delivering improved health outcomes. By empowering patients, providers, and caregivers with the support they need, we strive to make health and care a reality—not a burden—every single day. Join us in creating a better way to care.

Position Overview

• Build and maintain local influence maps (faith institutions, civic leaders, businesses, community hubs).
• Represent the company at community events and strengthen partnerships with local organizations.
• Conduct regular telephonic outreach review and accompanied field visits to model best practices and ensure fidelity to the company’s engagement approach.
• Collaborate with the central engagement team to adapt strategies for local market needs.
