With 25 clinics, 65,000+ members and partnerships with 30+ health plans, we’ve built a reputation for delivering exceptional, integrated healthcare experiences to Medicare, Medicaid, and group or private plan members.

Our mission is simple : to improve health outcomes by delivering a transformative and integrated healthcare experience impacting physical, social and emotional well-being. Cultivating life-long relationships with patients, grounded in compassion and unwavering dedication to excellence in care, we’ve built care teams around our patients’ needs — including doctors, nurse practitioners, case managers, community health workers, social workers, pharmacists and specialists, all working together to produce the best outcomes possible.

This people-first, value-based model ensures physicians can practice medicine the way it was meant to be practiced — with time to connect, collaborate, and truly care for patients.

Position Summary :

The Director, Clinical Pharmacy provides strategic and operational leadership for pharmacy medical management initiatives that improve healthcare quality, cost-effectiveness, and outcomes. This role ensures pharmacy programs align with the organization’s mission to optimize medication use and support value-based care.

  • Collaborate with IT and analytics teams to enhance clinical decision support and medication data integration.
  • Identify high-risk pharmacy claims and trends through data systems.
  • Stakeholder Engagement & External Relations

  • Serve as liaison between pharmacy services, care teams, and administrative departments.
