What you'll learn
Training at Diverge Health is immersive, hands-on, and designed to fully prepare you for success as a Health Coach. It's a core part of your journey-building the skills, confidence, and support network you'll need to thrive in this role.
During your initial 17-week training period, you'll participate in daily live instruction, interactive learning modules, role plays, teach-backs, and practice sessions with real patients. You'll then move into an apprenticeship phase for approximately two additional months, working alongside experienced coaches and receiving ongoing feedback and mentorship.

• Real-world preparation: Learn about Motivational Interviewing, care coordination, and how to help patients navigate social needs such as food, housing, and transportation.
• Culture of support: Dedicated trainers, clinical mentors, and peer cohorts guide you every step of the way.

At the end of your apprenticeship, you'll complete a sign-off process to begin full-time patient care with the knowledge, tools, and community to succeed.
What you'll do
As a Health Coach, you will be a trusted partner to patients, helping them understand their conditions, stay engaged in their care, and take practical steps toward better health. You'll work closely with a care team of clinicians to coordinate care and support patients holistically.

• Educate patients about chronic conditions such as diabetes, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), asthma, CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), and hypertension.
• Motivate and empower patients through goal setting, accountability, and culturally sensitive health coaching.
• Help patients engage or re-engage with primary care, including scheduling visits and ensuring follow-up after hospitalizations.
• Support care coordination by reviewing charts, confirming appointments, and helping patients prepare for visits.
• Guide patients in identifying and accessing community, health plan, and government resources (e.g., food assistance, housing, transportation) using resource directories and other tools.
• Document patient encounters and progress accurately in our internal database-Salesforce to inform the broader care team.
• Collaborate with Nurse Practitioners and Social Workers to facilitate case reviews and support patients with complex needs.
• Communicate patient risks or complications promptly to clinical team members for follow-up and triage.
• Support other tasks as needed to best meet the needs of the patient, their primary care provider, or the care team

• High School diploma or GED required (some college or healthcare experience preferred).
• Strong interpersonal and organizational skills; able to build rapport quickly and follow through consistently.
• Comfort with technology and adaptability, experience using systems like Salesforce or willingness to learn.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across a care team.
• Commitment to health, wellness, and supporting others in achieving their goals.
• Local travel on a regular basis - required (up to 70%) within the surrounding community.

Who we're looking for

• Empathetic, humble, and conscientious-you inspire trust and motivation in others.
• Comfortable with change and ambiguity; self-directed and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
• A practical problem solver who acts quickly and thoughtfully to move work forward.
