About the Role
Reporting to the Local Ops Leader, the Clinical Health Advocate is the center of the care team, owning patient relationships and quarter backing a collaborative care plan that drives meaningful impact in our patients' lives. We're looking for teammates who are innate people-people, love helping others, and have a knack for tenacious problem solving.
Here's what you'll do:
- Build rapport and trust with patients to truly understand and appreciate their needs. This includes motivational interviewing, therapeutic engagement, health coaching and other patient-centered strategies to improve health outcomes
- Work collaboratively with other care team experts like physicians, nurse practitioners, behavioral health providers and social workers to find creative solutions to help patients meet health goals and overcome social barriers
- Become the ultimate go-to for our patients, building and strengthening relationships with patients, families, and the broader community
- Provide and support patient care across several modalities including video, phone, and in-person interactions that occur in the community, in our medical mobile units, and in patients' homes. Galileo has robust Covid precautions in place including screening, PPE, and regular testing but this role does involve direct in-person interaction with patients.
- Operate as Galileo's eyes, ears, and hands in the field- providing clinical support (examples include taking vitals, performing phlebotomy, facilitating video visits with other providers, basic wound care, working with point of care diagnostics and administering medications/vaccines within your scope of practice, etc.)
