Douglas, United States Homeward Health Full time

Homeward is a technology-enabled healthcare provider delivering quality, affordable and comprehensive care to those who don't have it. Starting in rural America. Today, 60 million Americans living in rural communities are facing a crisis of access to care. In the U.S. healthcare system, rural Americans experience significantly poorer clinical outcomes. This trend is rapidly accelerating as rural hospitals close and physician shortages increase, exacerbating health disparities. In fact, Americans living in rural communities suffer a mortality rate 23 percent higher than those in urban communities, in part because of the lack of access to quality care.

Our vision is care that enables everyone to achieve their best health. So, we're rearchitecting the way it's delivered - leveraging breakthroughs in diagnostics, remote monitoring, and a variety of other domains, Homeward is creating a new healthcare delivery model that is purpose-built for rural America and directly addresses the issues that have historically limited access and quality.

Most importantly, we're aligning everyone's incentives (ours, partner health plans', and members') towards getting and keeping people healthy by taking full responsibility and financial risk for the total cost of each member's healthcare and outcomes.

Homeward is co-founded by a leadership team that defined and delivered Livongo's products, and backed most recently by a $50 million series B co-led by Arch Ventures and Human Capital, with participation from General Catalyst for a total of $70 million in funding. With this leadership team and funding, Homeward is committed to bringing high-quality healthcare to rural communities in need.


The Opportunity

We seek a full-time Care Navigator passionate about helping people in rural communities throughout Douglas, Pope, and Grantcounties.


You'll be responsible for working with Homeward members and their providers to achieve their best health. You'll conduct proactive telephonic, video, and in-person outreach to build relationships with members and connect them with services they need-medical, behavioral, and social-and address gaps in their care. You will deeply understand your local community and use your expertise to advance members' health.

Homeward career opportunities underscore our vision and values and represent an investment in our team and in the communities we serve. Our care delivery model and value-based arrangements are designed to minimize administrative burden and optimize professional satisfaction, and we offer a unique combination of benefits, compensation, and rewards that are highly valued by our employees, including generous cash compensation (base + incentive), equity grants, tuition and student loan repayment, workplace flexibility, and numerous other tangible and intangible benefits.

  • Initiate encounters with members to prepare for the visit, coordinate patient flow, gather and document pertinent data (vitals, medications, allergies) from the patient, and enter information into the medical record
  • Conduct check-ins and/or visits with members telephonically, virtually, in-clinic, and/or in-home regularly
  • Support fulfillment of recommended health services, including obtaining prescribed medicines, coordinating scheduling of health-related activities, attending scheduled health-related appointments, and testing
