Jobbeschreibung

At Crosswalk Health, we are reshaping pulmonary care delivery by empowering primary care providers—especially those in rural and underserved communities—to better manage chronic conditions like COPD while reducing overall healthcare costs. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., a major driver of hospital admissions, and responsible for over $60 billion in annual costs.

Our Mission is to deliver high quality, virtual-first, guideline-based pulmonary care at scale to measurably improve Americans’ respiratory health. We are working toward a health care system that provides patients, their families, and the clinicians who care for them access to affordable, high quality, and data-driven care and supports regardless of where they live.
