Why Work at AbsoluteCare?

At AbsoluteCare, we serve the most vulnerable individuals in America. These are our neighbors, people who are at higher risk for disease or who have multiple, complex, chronic illnesses. Often, they deal with an unequal healthcare system and seek basic care from emergency rooms. We take these patients out of those spaces and turn them into members: people entitled to some of the best, most focused care this country has to offer.

We call this care beyond medicine. We have transformed the doctors office into a comprehensive care center. Here, we surround our members with a core care team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and medical assistants who have the time and skills to understand our members needs. We make key services available under one roof, including a pharmacy, X-rays, a blood lab, nutrition services, urgent care, and more.

Our efforts extend into the community. Through community care teams, we reach those in need and remove barriers to healthcare. This approach has proven effective.

Our care philosophy is guided by our core values of accountability, caring, trust, and teamworkwhat we call ACT2.
