Primary Care Physician

Company

ZoeRVA Health is closing its insurance-based medical practice (Zoe Primary Care) and is seeking a Primary Care Physician to launch a direct primary care practice (Zoe Direct). Zoe Direct will prioritize preventive care and wellness initiatives to empower individuals to manage their health proactively. This approach to primary care emphasizes guidance on lifestyle improvements in nutrition, increasing movement, managing stress, cultivating healthy habits, securing restful sleep, and fostering beneficial relationships.

As a newer organization, this practice offers a unique opportunity to shape care delivery, contribute to clinic culture, and help build systems that support long-term community impact.
