Pay Range: $21.59 - $32.39 per hour

If you're looking for a role where every phone call, referral, appointment, and discharge plan helps a real person move safely to their next stage of care, this is your opportunity.

Many healthcare support roles can feel like a never-ending queue of tasks with little connection to the people behind them. At PeaceHealth, you'll be a key part of helping patients navigate one of the most important moments in their healthcare journey: getting home safely with the support they need to recover and thrive.

Why PeaceHealth? Why Now?

At PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, you'll join a Care Management team that helps remove barriers for patients every day, ensuring they leave the hospital with the equipment, services, appointments, and support needed for a successful recovery.

What's in it for you?

• See the impact of your work daily. You'll help coordinate home health services, follow-up care, and resources that directly affect patient outcomes.
• Be more than an administrator. You'll partner closely with RN Care Managers and Social Workers to support meaningful transitions of care.
• Build relationships, not just spreadsheets. You'll interact with patients, families, providers, clinics, and community partners throughout the discharge process.
• Work in healthcare without losing the human connection. Every task you complete helps a patient take the next step safely and confidently.
• Join a mission-driven organization. PeaceHealth is rooted in compassion, respect, and serving the communities of the Pacific Northwest.

• Support arrangements for outpatient therapy and other post-hospital services.
• Provide discharge planning support in partnership with RN Care Managers and Social Workers.
• Document care coordination activities accurately in the electronic medical record.
• Deliver Medicare Important Message letters and verify patient demographic information.
• Communicate with clinics, providers, insurers, and community partners to support patient care transitions.
• Welcome visitors, answer phone calls, and connect people to the appropriate team members.
• Support department operations through scheduling, reporting, data entry, and other administrative tasks.
• Help ensure patients, families, and care teams receive timely information and support.
