Hopscotch Primary Care·Asheville, North Carolina
The Licensed Clinical Social Worker will collaborate with primary care teams to engage patients in the Behavioral Health Program, screen them using evidence-based tools, and provide counseling via in-person and telehealth visits.

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we believe great healthcare should be accessible to all people across all communities.

We provide high-quality primary care tailored to meet the needs of our patients through our robust care model and comprehensive care team, delivering care in our clinics, and across settings, and wrapping resources around the patients who need them most.
Our patients and the care teams who serve them sit at the center of everything we do at Hopscotch. Hopscotch Primary Care takes a team approach to serve patient needs and provide the best care possible. Our goal is to provide the care each of us would want for ourselves or for our family members, in the right setting, and at the right time.
Today, we are serving thousands of patients in our value-based care model and the number is growing every day. If you want to bring your experience, skill and passion to make a lasting impact in healthcare, we’d like to meet you.
