Zócalo Health is a Latino-founded healthcare service designed for the Latino patient. Our primary care model blends tradition with innovation and prioritizes trusting relationships between care teams and patients. Each member of Zócalo Health is paired with a promotor de salud (community health worker) to establish a relationship to better understand members’ goals and connect them to a Zócalo Health care provider. Our team of physicians, hired from the community, focus on prevention, primary care, behavioral health, and traditional practices that work together to support our members’ wellness. Operating in the states of California and Texas, Zócalo Health offers affordable and convenient care memberships that provide same-day access to culturally-aligned providers.
With over 62 million people living in the United States that identify as Latinos, our community is the engine behind America’s growth. We are nurses, essential workers, students, teachers, farm workers, neighbors, and best friends. We are innovators, thinkers, doers, and trendsetters. We sing, dance, cook, and laugh. And we work hard at everything we do.
Zócalo Health was founded by Latinos for Latinos on the tenet that the one-size fits all approach in modern health care systems continues to fail our comunidades and needs. Our language, our beliefs, and our stories are rarely heard or acknowledged in the exam room. Faced with dismissive attitudes and mistrust of providers leaves many of us searching for other ways to seek care. Zócalo Health is working to change that experience for our community: creating a safe space for your care team to listen to your story and provide the care you need.
Founded by an experienced team of Latinos, entrepreneurs, health care professionals, and socially-minded agents of change, Zócalo Health leverages its team’s experiences of building patient-centric products in healthcare for iconic brands.
We are looking to expand our founding team to help us scale the impact of Zócalo Health to our growing community.
Zócalo Health was founded on the principles of family and community. In practice this means that our small and nimble team operates as a family. We know and respect personal family obligations and needs. Familia first — but take care of you, too.
We are not afraid to test big ideas, learn, be flexible, and change as the need arises. We embrace a growth-mindset and staying curious. We prioritize conversations with our customers and learning how we can do better. We actively seek ways to connect to our community and help it thrive.
We appreciate a good Latin music play list, are not afraid to declare our secret family [tortilla/salsa/frijoles/you name it] recipe as the best, and can host a memorable carne asada in our backyard on short notice. We look forward to the day when we can safely host our own team Iron Chef-style competition in a commercial kitchen (Erik says he’ll beat everyone at making tortillas… we’ll see.)
From Los Angeles to Houston to Seattle, we are looking for boots on the ground that can help us bring care to our community. Check out our open roles below. If you don’t see a role that fits your profile, simply submit your resume below.
