Social Worker

Description

Who we are :

The healthcare system isn’t designed for health. We’re designed to change that. We’re Wellvana, and we help doctors deliver life-changing healthcare.

Through our elevated value-based care programs, we’re revitalizing an antiquated system that’s far too long relied on misaligned incentives that reward quantity of care not the quality of it.

Our enlightened approach covering everything from care coordination to coding to marketing ties the healthy outcomes of patients directly to healthier earnings for primary care providers.

Providers in our curated network keep their independence, reduce their administrative headaches, and spend more time with patients.

Patients, in turn, get an elevated experience with coordinated 24 / 7 care that is nothing short of life changing.

Recently named by Insider as one of 33 startups investors expect to take off in 2023, we’re one of the fastest-growing healthcare companies in America because what we do works.

This is the way medicine is meant to be.
