Why work at AbsoluteCare Medical and Pharmacy?

We take care of the sickest & most vulnerable members of our community- members who have been ill-served by the traditional healthcare system. Here at AbsoluteCare we are different. We follow two key principles -
We Build Trust & We Break The Status Quo . Where the typical healthcare system says "no" to patients, we find a way to get to "yes" for our members. When our members are spinning in the traditional health system, from ER to street and back - we find a way to change the trajectory of the lives of our members by addressing root causes: whether its working with members to take the right medication, or having enough to eat, or addressing housing instability. We serve a very special population of very high needs members, who have been failed by the traditional health system. That's why AbsoluteCare needs to be different, and why our role as AbsoluteCare Providers is so different, special & necessary.
