We are a mission-driven team dedicated to stabilizing high-risk populations and ensuring that no one falls through the cracks of the healthcare system.

Our mission is to integrate Case Management, Care Navigation, and Benefits Enrollment into a single seamless layer of support with a focus on patients and their Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).

This work bridges the gap between clinical requirements and social stability, and this role is vital to achieving that balance.

• Principal Illness Navigation (PIN): Execute person-centered care plans for patients with serious, high-risk illnesses. Assist in monitoring and revising disease-specific plans, especially when frequent adjustments in medication or treatment regimens are required.
• Clinical Care Bridge: Act as the link between the patient and the billing practitioner. Support care coordination by managing provider availability, rescheduling, and providing post-hospital discharge support.
• SDOH Assessment & Goal Setting: Conduct person-centered assessments to understand the patient's social and cultural context. Identify unmet social needs-such as food insecurity or housing instability-that impact the management of their serious condition and develop specific action plans to address them.
• System Navigation & Advocacy: Assist patients and caregivers in navigating the Pennsylvania healthcare landscape. Teach self-advocacy skills to help patients communicate effectively with specialists and coordinate transportation or access to telehealth.
• Technical & Workflow Support: Support patient communication templates and automation. Coordinate with the tech team to set up workflows, handle technical troubleshooting, and update patient charts in the Case Management System (CMS) with precision.
• Resource Coordination: Refer patients to supportive services and community-based resources. Establish and maintain partnerships with local Pennsylvania organizations to bring targeted resources (legal aid, food assistance, etc.) to our members' attention.
• Behavioral & Social Support: Use motivational interviewing and capacity-building to help patients manage the stress of chronic illness. Provide tailored education to improve treatment adherence and offer emotional support to families and caregivers.
• CMS Compliance & Documentation: Maintain detailed logs of all interactions, including the amount of time spent and specific activities performed. Ensure all documentation meets the standards required for Medicare clinical and social integration services.

• PA Locality: Safely and consistently drive to public places and member homes within a 50-mile radius in Pennsylvania.
• Remote Independence: Successfully work in a remote team environment with high independence and minimal oversight.
• Physical Presence: Frequently carry up to 30 pounds of supplies and stand/walk for the duration of home visits or member interactions.
• Digital Literacy: Ability to use a computer, tablet, and smartphone to update data in multiple secure systems with accuracy.

Requirements

• Community Health Worker (CHW) Certification preferred; candidates with a CHW background or completed CHW training are also strongly encouraged to apply.

• Compliance: Be willing to complete and maintain all CMS-mandated training and state-applicable requirements, including competencies in interpersonal building, service coordination, and professional ethical conduct.
• Experience: Have 3+ years of relevant community outreach, facilitation, or healthcare experience. Experience navigating high-risk chronic conditions or complex care management is a major plus.
• Technical Savvy: Have strong computer skills and the ability to navigate web-based and app-based systems with ease.
• Cultural Competency: Possess a deep understanding of the socio-economic and public health challenges facing disenfranchised populations in Pennsylvania.
• Communication: Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an outgoing personality and the ability to motivate and influence different types of people.
• Logistics: Have a high school diploma/GED (college degree preferred). Must have a valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and a flexible schedule for occasional work outside regular business hours.
• Commitment: Be committed to a drug-free workplace and ready for pre-employment substance abuse testing and background checks.
