Care Navigation Manager

Rezilient Health•St. Louis, MO

About The Position

We're not telehealth and we're not a traditional doctor's office: we're the best parts of both. Our mission at Rezilient is simple: to make access to primary care convenient, timely and seamless. In our hybrid model, clinics are staffed by paramedics with the provider joining the appointment virtually on-screen. The provider relies on the medic as their partner for a thorough physical assessment, with the aid of connected devices that live stream ENT, skin, and cardio respiratory exams. Not only does this allow the provider to see and hear high quality exams, but it allows the patient to participate in the experience themself through hearing their own heartbeat or seeing their own eardrum. Our model is breaking through the old way of medicine and bringing transparency and high quality care through the use of technology. We are looking for team members that are ready to expand and break new grounds in the world of primary care.
