Aspire Health is the nation’s leading non-hospice community-based palliative care provider. Aspire specializes in providing an extra layer of support to patients facing a serious illness through an ambitious palliative care program focused on caring for patients in their homes and outpatient clinics.

Our core values are Clinical Excellence, Compassion, Teamwork, and Going the Extra Mile!

Aspire’s Clinical Director leads a team of palliative care clinicians that care for a chronically-ill and vulnerable population, primarily in the patients’ homes. The Clinical Director is responsible for providing day-to-day management of all clinical staff and ensuring the market achieves all clinical performance goals including hospitalization reductions, goals of care discussions and home visit metrics. The Clinical Director organizes weekly interdisciplinary team meetings and call schedules and oversees on-boarding, orientation, ongoing trainings, performance evaluations, and mentorship of palliative care clinicians. Most importantly, the Clinical Director will set the cultural tone, establishing a highly professional, dedicated team of palliative care clinicians, caring for the area’s most vulnerable patients. The Clinical Director also will work with the Vice President of Operations to build a working relationship with Aspire’s health plan partners and provide education and outreach to primary care and specialist physicians about Aspire’s service.
