About Matter Health
Matter Health delivers primary and preventive healthcare directly to older adults living in public housing communities.

Total Healthcare. Where you live.
About the Role
The Patient Advocate & Liaison (PAL) is the face of Matter Health within the communities we serve. This field-based role is responsible for building trusted relationships with older adults living in affordable housing communities and helping them stay engaged in their healthcare journey.
Working alongside an Nurse Practitioner (NP), you'll serve as the primary relationship-builder for your assigned communities—educating patients about Matter Health, supporting enrollment, coordinating follow-up, identifying barriers to care, and helping patients stay connected to the services they need.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with people, thrives in community settings, and is passionate about improving healthcare access for underserved populations.

What We’re Looking For
1–2 years of experience in community outreach, patient advocacy, healthcare, social services, customer service, hospitality, account management, sales, or other relationship-focused roles
Passion for serving older adults and underserved communities
Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills
Comfortable working independently in a field-based environment
Strong organization and time management skills

Why Matter Health?
We believe that where someone lives should never determine the care they receive. Every team member at Matter Health plays an essential part in improving healthcare access for older adults historically underserved by traditional healthcare systems.
