As the nation's leading health solutions company, we reach millions of Americans through our local presence, digital channels and more than 300,000 purpose‑driven colleagues - caring for people where, when and how they choose in a way that is uniquely more connected, more convenient and more compassionate.

Oak Street Health, a CVS Health company, is committed to delivering high‑quality care to older adults on Medicare, particularly in underserved communities. We focus on the kind of healthcare you'd want for your own family—personalized, accessible, and effective.
Our mission is to rebuild healthcare around wellness and positive outcomes, not volume. Through dedicated care teams, we take the time to understand each patient and provide the support they need to live healthier, fuller lives.
We emphasize value‑based care, especially full‑risk/capitated models, and leverage care management strategies to improve clinical and financial outcomes.
The Medical Director, Population Health will report to the Senior Medical Director, Population Health – Complex Patient Care and will play a pivotal role in shaping and guiding our clinical programs for patients who are at greatest risk for poor outcomes due to chronic conditions, behavioral health challenges, and social barriers to care.
This clinician leader will design, implement, and continually improve the systems and strategies that help Oak Street clinicians care for our most complex patients—those whose health is influenced by overlapping medical, psychological, and social factors. The role spans clinical innovation, data‑informed program design, and collaborative leadership to ensure every complex patient receives coordinated, compassionate, and effective care.
The Medical Director will work cross‑functionally with operations, analytics, technology, and regional care teams to create an integrated approach that improves outcomes, prevents avoidable hospitalizations, and helps patients achieve their fullest health potential.
