**$10,000 Sign On Bonus for External Candidates**
As a Landmark Health Provider, now a part of the Optum family, you
visit your panel of patients in the comfort of their own homes. You
spend all the time needed to ensure your patients' health issues
are addressed. You create a friendly and trusting relationship with
each patient and his or her family. You have the support of a
collaborative, multidisciplinary clinical team who works in the
field with you. And you do it all at no added cost to the

Landmark, we live by the principle of one mission, one vision, one

insights into aspects of their lives - sometimes subtle, but always
important - that otherwise may never be revealed in a traditional
care setting. You will have the resources of our custom electronic
medical records (EMR) program, comprehensive mobile medical
technology system, and dedicated technical support department.
