Why You’ll Love This Job
Intuitive Health is a fast-growing healthcare company that pioneered the first combined ER and urgent care under one roof in 2008 – Legacy ER & Urgent Care.
When Legacy ER & Urgent Care was built, it forever changed the way patients accessed, received, and paid for healthcare. By having ER and Urgent Care under one roof, patients no longer have to decide what level of care they need, and they are now being billed for the level of care they need.
After seeing how successful this hybrid retail-model was in Texas, Intuitive Health decided to bring this same model of care to other patients, communities, and employers around the country. Intuitive Health now partners with leading health systems nationwide to build, operate, and launch this combined ER and Urgent Care retail healthcare facilities.
This is a float position for the Legacy & Main, Frisco; Custer & Eldorado Frisco; and McKinney location.
