About Us:

Cityblock Health is the first tech-driven provider for communities with complex needs—bringing better care to where it’s needed most, block by block. Founded in 2017 on the premise that “health is local” and based in Brooklyn, we are backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community-based care teams and Virtual Care offerings.

In close collaboration with community-based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. Equipped with world-class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve.

Over the next year, we’ll grow quickly to bring better care to many more members and their communities. To do this, we need people who, like us, believe that everyone should have good care for what matters to them, in their community. 

Our work is grounded in a belief in the power of a diverse community. To close gaps in care and advance equity in the communities we serve, we have to start with making our own team diverse and inclusive. Our ways of working are characterized by creativity, collaboration, and mutual learning that comes from bringing together a community from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to ensure that every person on the Cityblock team, and every Cityblock member, feels supported and included as a part of our community.

Our Values:

  • Aim for Understanding
  • Be All In
  • Bring Your Whole Self
  • Lean Into Discomfort
  • Put Members First

  

About our Team: 

We employ a field-based, home-based care model and are committed to meeting members where they are--in their homes, in their community, and in our Hubs. You will go above and beyond to connect with Cityblock members in a non-judgmental, respectful and empathic manner, to meet their needs, and to provide feedback to the system as a whole as we strive to do better every day.


About the Role:

  • You will work in a radically different model of healthcare.
  • You will be on a large team of Community Health Partners. Expect collaboration, shared-decision making, and partnership across clinical and non-clinical care team members. 
  • Cooperatively manage care for a population living with complex medical and behavioral health needs. 
  • Steer a care team, constantly communicating with other team members and members around their needs and health goals. 
  • Foster lasting and trusting relationships as the face of the team and key point-of-contact to assist members in achieving goals, identifying new needs, and coordinating care.
  • Meet with members in their homes, neighborhoods, and throughout the complicated paths of the healthcare system.
  • Coordinate care for members, identifying and addressing their barriers to and social influences on good health. 
  • Work daily within our custom-built care facilitation platform, which will enable you to collect data, organize information, track tasks, and communicate with staff, patients, and family members. This platform is being built for a mobile workforce. You will have the opportunity to provide feedback to the product development team and co-design a platform that fits team needs, and over time you may become part of a super-user group to assist in onboarding and supporting others.

  • You will jump in and support outreach efforts in partnership with our Outreach Specialist team as you build your member panel 
  • Work a full-time 40 hour week, Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm ET with the occasional Saturday shift. Your work may take you outside of normal business hours as urgent member needs arise. 
  • You are experienced in documentation of member action plans, care planning, care coordination and have excellent writing skills 
  • You excel at empathy and human interactions, and want to improve the health of individuals and whole communities.
  • You are an independent self-starter and a strategic thinker who is eager to learn, improve, and grow.
  • You are excited about how technology can support your work and help drive the ongoing evaluation toward new, better, care.
