About The Position

Color Health is revolutionizing cancer care with the nation’s first Virtual Cancer Clinic, delivering high-quality, physician-led multidisciplinary care across all 50 states. Our innovative, guideline-based approach spans cancer screening, risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, treatment support, and survivorship. In addition to personalized direct medical care, our services include cancer genetics risk assessment, nutrition, mental health support, and at-home cancer screening diagnostics. Using technology-driven, patient-centric solutions, Color is transforming how employers, unions, health plans, and governments address cancer. Color’s goal is to close critical gaps in cancer care, improve cancer outcomes, and guide patients with empathy through their healthcare journeys. In June 2023, Color and the American Cancer Society (ACS) introduced a cancer screening and prevention program for employers and labor organizations, combining the ACS’s expertise in cancer screening, prevention, and risk reduction with Color’s leadership in population-scale healthcare delivery. Since announcing our partnership with the American Cancer Society, our program has expanded to support diagnosis management, cancer treatment and care, and survivorship. Through our Virtual Cancer Clinic, Color is helping employees and members diagnose cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage; caring for patients going through their diagnostic journeys with empathy and efficiency; helping cancer survivors navigate return-to-work challenges and complex clinical needs; and closing critical gaps in cancer screening for high-burden cancers. We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Virtual Cancer Clinic care team. This role is critical in supporting patients who report symptoms, need education and follow-up after abnormal screening results, and require timely coordination to get the care they need. You work in partnership with our care team including physicians, advanced practice providers, genetic counselors and care advocates. The ideal candidate will be passionate about cancer screening & prevention, adept at using telehealth technology, and committed to improving outcomes. You deeply understand the challenges that patients face, the importance of cancer screening, and you are passionate about helping large populations achieve better health outcomes.
