You are devoted, compassionate, and enjoy being on the front lines of healthcare, changing the lives of patients by supporting them and the team by focusing on customers. You're excited about being part of a team that is building a healthcare delivery model that ensures the highest possible quality of life and best outcomes for those in our care.

You thrive in innovative and evolving environments with high rates of change. Does this sound like you? If so, we should talk.
WHO WE ARE
Evergreen Nephrology partners with nephrologists to transform kidney care through a value-based, person-centered, holistic, and comprehensive approach to kidney care. We believe patients living with kidney disease deserve the best care. We are committed to improving patient outcomes and improving quality of life by delaying disease progression, shifting care to the home, and accelerating kidney transplants.

You will perform assessments to identify needs based on individual values, goals, and preferences. From this assessment, you will develop comprehensive care plans for each member.

- Ensure seamless transitions of care by coordinating and advocating for patients as they move between care settings, proactively addressing potential barriers and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to ensure continuity of care, reduce readmissions and promote optimal health outcomes
