RN - Complex Discharge Planner - CMC - AS Utilization Management - Full Time - 8 Hour - Days
About The Position

This position supports system-wide efforts to reduce hospital length of stay by ensuring timely transitions, leasing post-acute beds when needed, and helping patients access benefits and resources that support safe discharge and long-term success.
