Senior-focused Primary Care
Nurse Practitioner
Bluerock Care provides primary care without walls to mid- and lower-income adults on Medicare in mostly underserved areas. We combine virtual, home, and office-based care to meet people's needs where and when they arise.
We are a value-based provider: through our contracts with payers, we aim to be rewarded for quality and outcomes, not volume. Our mission is to deliver an unparalleled experience for our patients, significantly improve outcomes, and reduce costs of care for both patients and payers. We also believe that our clinicians should spend time with patients and the rest of the team -- not burdened by unnecessary administrative tasks. For more information, see www.bluerock.care.
We are located at 3230 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington DC 20020. With our unique care model, we aim to grow both regionally and nationally.
