How You'll Make an Impact

The RN Navigator serves a pivotal role in bringing care to the patient's home as an alternative to hospitalization. The ideal candidate brings a passion for human connection and the coordination of health care beyond just the clinical needs. The Nurse Navigator is a patient advocate who focuses on the transition from high acuity care back to the care of their established healthcare providers. This role is pivotal in assessing each patient's whole health journey by providing comprehensive clinical care coordination as well as identifying social determinants of health (SDOH) challenges and making patient-centered connections to ease them. The Navigator serves a primary point of contact for patients and care providers throughout their recovery. The opportunity for this position is to contribute to the creation and refinement of a novel care model while helping reduce readmission rates, increase patient success, decrease emergency room utilization, and increase the patient and provider experience.
