  • 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.

  • Multi-state Advanced Nursing License or willingness to obtain.
  • A valid driver’s license and auto liability insurance.
