Certified Medical Assistant (Primary Care)
ABOUT US
A Specialty Path to Whole-Person Health
Upperline Health is a leading multispecialty care group delivering comprehensive, whole-person care in specialty settings. We meet patients where they are—providing convenient, affordable care close to home while addressing not just the immediate issue, but the full health picture behind it. Founded in 2017 to change the way specialty care is delivered, Upperline brings together physicians, advanced practice providers, and an integrated care team to focus on root causes, improve outcomes, and keep patients healthier for the long term.
For patients who qualify, Upperline Plus extends this model even further. Upperline Plus is our value-based care program, designed to provide personalized, preventive support beyond the clinic walls. Patients keep the doctors they know, while gaining 24/7 access to a dedicated care team that checks in between visits, coordinates across providers, and helps make sense of their care.
At Upperline, we do more than treat conditions. We deliver care that stays with you.
