About Vanna Health

Vanna Health focuses on reimagining care for individuals with mental illness. Our goal is to empower these individuals to lead healthy and meaningful lives by providing social, physical and mental healthcare support and connecting members to community programs. Our technology-enabled approach, developed by our own team of engineers and designers, ensures our staff and members are well supported.

Vanna delivers in-person and virtual community-based engagement through an interdisciplinary team of coaches and clinicians. We leverage partnerships with existing community resources to facilitate support networks unique to an individual’s needs and location - connecting them to established psychosocial rehabilitation programs, resources for housing, transportation, etc. and various digital engagement opportunities to address members’ needs.

About the Role

Vanna Health is seeking an experienced, recovery-focused Registered Nurse (RN) who is passionate about community care that addresses all the dimensions of wellbeing and health education. In this role, you will bring passion for serving individuals with mental illness and chronic physical health conditions, helping them access community-based care to improve health outcomes and quality of care for individuals in the Maricopa County community.

While you may be expected to support our general Maricopa County community membership, your role will primarily be facilitating an ongoing pilot initiative evaluating novel care models and outreach strategies for a subset of individuals with complex comorbidities and high health costs. The work emphasizes high-intensity, field-based engagement with the goal of reducing preventable emergency department visits and inpatient utilization. This role will be fully in-person, through our office located in the Central Phoenix area.
