Nurse Practitioner
Bluerock Care is a high growth startup, providing 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. For more information, see www.bluerock.care.

We are located at 3230 Pennsylvania Ave, SE, Washington DC 20020, and we serve patients in both DC and MD (Prince George’s County). With our unique care model, we aim to grow rapidly both regionally and nationally.
