Care Experience Specialist

Why Join CINQCARE?

CINQCARE is a provider-led, community-based health and care partner dedicated to improving the health and well-being of those who need care the most, with a deep commitment to high-needs, urban, and rural communities. Guided by our values of being trusted, empathetic, committed, humble, creative, and community-minded, we are committed to delivering person-centered care that creates meaningful, lasting impact.

Our local physicians, nurses, and caregivers work together to serve people and the communities they live in, beyond just treating symptoms. We remove barriers by delivering personalized care as close to home as possible, often in-home, because we know that a deep understanding of our patients’ race, culture, and environment is critical to delivering improved health outcomes. By empowering patients, providers, and caregivers with the support they need, we strive to make health and care a reality—not a burden—every single day.

Join us in creating a better way to care!
