Job Description

About Us:

Pathways Healthcare is a leading, physician- and nurse practitioner-led home health and hospice organization, committed to redefining recovery through comprehensive, patient-centered care. Our innovative Medical Rehabilitation Program offers a meaningful alternative to institutional rehab, helping people heal at home, with dignity and purpose.

As one of the first home health agencies to adopt AI-assisted documentation, we're investing in tools that give our clinicians time back – saving 5 to 10 hours per week! We have made a deliberate decision not to raise our productivity expectations, so the patients and clinicians win in the end. Technology handles the paperwork and your clinical judgment stays at the center of every note!

We are proud to have ranked in Boston Globe's Top Places to Work in Massachusetts and USA Today's Best Places to Work in the United States since 2023!
