Job DescriptionPalm is a physician-led primary care medical group with a growing presence across Florida and North Texas. Our model is centered on delivering high-quality, value-based care with a strong emphasis on patient outcomes, provider satisfaction, and operational excellence. As a group operating across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, ACA, and commercial populations under both risk-based and fee-for-service contracts, we are focused on building a scalable, high-performing platform that aligns clinical quality, patient experience, and financial performance. Position Overview The Population Health Officer (the “PHO”) reports to the CEO and serves as the senior executive leader responsible for total cost of care performance, utilization management, and population health strategy across Palm’s markets. This role defines what care should happen at a system level—establishing priorities, care models, and intervention strategies to improve outcomes, reduce avoidable utilization, and optimize value-based performance. Success in this role requires the ability to translate data and financial performance into actionable care strategies executed across clinical and operational teams. Interaction with the provider team is critical and will require frequent local travel between clinics. Unlike the COO (who executes care delivery) and the CMO (who defines clinical standards), the PHO defines population-level care priorities and medical cost strategy.
