Florence Health is a next-generation Primary Care Providergrowing rapidly in towns and cities around the country. Named after the legendary nurse Florence Nightingale, Florence was founded in 2019 with a simple mission: to serve the patient, above all else. Florence is currently available to Medicare patients exclusively, and operates fully at risk for all of our patients' outcomes and spend, enabling our clinics to invest in the delivery of added benefits, services and staffing that are not possible in a fee-for-service environment. 

Florence's relentless focus on patient satisfaction and care results, through our platform of medical professionals, staff, technology, and premium modern clinic spaces designed from the ground up, has earned us a reputation with our patients of going above and beyond on every facet of service delivery - from the front desk to the exam and follow-up experience, and everything in between.

In order to best serve our patients with all of their health care needs, Florence Health is launching our own branded transport vans in our service regions for non-emergency patient transportation free of cost to our members.

The Patient Transport Agent will be provided a Florence Health van and will be responsible for the safe and efficient transport of our patients to-and-from their clinic appointments at Florence’s primary care centers, as well as to other important health care sites needed for their care such as the pharmacy, laboratory, imaging center, specialist appointments, and more. For this role, the area of travel will be aligned to the greater Houston area.

The Patient Transport Agent will be in frequent communication with our clinical staff and our patients to ensure timely pick-ups and drop-offs. This role requires warmth and passion for patient interactions, attention to detail and pride in presentation, and a "no-ego" teammate mindset as we serve our patients collaboratively together.

The role also requires physical capacity and willingness to help patients get into and out of the vehicle compassionately when needed, as some of our patients have mobility challenges and may need assistance with their wheelchairs or other equipment. The nature of the position also entails sitting for extended periods of time, and entering and exiting the vehicle as needed.

In addition to the direct patient transportation work, Florence’s Patient Transport Agents are responsible for maintaining compliant vehicle records and coordinating routine vehicle maintenance, cleanings, and inspections. As the person closest to the vehicle on a daily basis, the Patient Transport Agent is in the best position to detect and address any repair needs, such as tire replacements and tune-ups, at the Company’s expense).
