About Us
MGB Integrated Care is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to develop new high-quality, low-cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham's unified system strategy to bring health care closer to patients while lowering total health care costs. MGB Integrated Care will provide a wide range of offerings, including outpatient surgery, imaging, primary care, behavioral and mental health, and specialty care, both digitally as well as at physical locations across the state and region.
We aspire to be people's first choice for health and care
- rooted in well-being and kindness -
by bringing world-class care closer to home (or at home!) and
being the bridge to world-renowned hospitals and research when needed.
We are looking for team members who possess not only the relevant skills and growth potential, but positive attitudes, flexibility, and creative mindsets to join our expanding team. Opportunities exist for team members to contribute both in their primary domain as well as in other areas of the organization.
Our core values are shared fundamental beliefs that guide our decision-making and behavior
and bind us together as a team. At MGB Integrated Care, we are:
Bravely Human: We approach our work with empathy, vulnerability, and kindness.
Clearly Honest: We seek to provide clarity amongst our teams and patients.
Proudly Collaborative: We are all part of a team - each bringing our unique talents to bear.
Intentionally Consistent: We intentionally live our purpose, providing a cohesive experience for both patients and providers.
Exceptionally Creative: We continue to learn, grow, and iterate on the ways we work.
