  • Excellent written, computer, and oral communication skills, with the ability to communicate efficiently and proactively with the clinical team.
  • Dedication to health equity and transforming care for patients in their homes.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to provide clinical leadership and coordination.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience as a provider, with a minimum of 3 years in a primary care, or related, setting.
  • Multi-state Advanced Nursing License or willingness to obtain.
  • A valid driver’s license and auto liability insurance.
  • Willingness and ability to travel as required.
  • Experience in urgent/emergent care settings is a plus.
