The salary range is in the 90-95K
Excellent Benefits package
Remote Position
We are building a virtual-first, home-based cardiac recovery solution that provides a
comprehensive set of tools to educate, rehabilitate, and empower heart disease patients to live
the lives they aspire to live and, in doing so, reduce their lifetime all-cause mortality risk by 50%.
By leveraging technology and evidence-based care plans infused into a behavioral
change framework, our virtual cardiac recovery program reduces barriers to care. It effectively addresses patients’ physical and mental health needs from home. By extending recovery services to eligible patients that hospital outpatient-based programs do not have the capacity for, allows Health Systems to serve a broader patient base and gain a new profit center. Further, our clinical model has the flexibility to scale across all heart and vascular service lines and beyond, reducing mortality risk for the chronic disease patients who need this care the
most!
