Midland Care Connection
Midland Care Connection is a not-for-profit, community-based organization dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Our mission centers on "meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions," and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.
PACE Program
The PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program is designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. It provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity.
Transportation Scheduler
A Transportation Scheduler at Midland Care Connection's PACE program is responsible for coordinating transportation services that help participants access medical care, therapy appointments, and the PACE center. This role involves scheduling and adjusting daily transportation routes, coordinating with participants, caregivers, healthcare providers, and drivers, and ensuring that all transportation needs are met safely and efficiently. The scheduler must manage changes to appointments and transportation requests, maintain accurate records, and communicate effectively with the interdisciplinary care team. Because transportation is a critical component of participant care, the position requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, excellent communication abilities, and the ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced healthcare environment.
