Role Overview
Our client is seeking a Cardiology Patient Navigator (Coordinator) to support a busy cardiology care team. The role centers on patient communication, scheduling, care coordination, and clinical documentation. The ideal candidate brings a clinical background, experience in telephonic or remote care settings, and comfort managing a high-volume patient caseload across multiple priorities.
Cardiology-specific experience is preferred but not required. Candidates with strong backgrounds in care coordination, care management, med-surg, ICU, cardiac step-down, CCU, or home health will be competitive. What matters most is clinical credibility, strong communication, and the ability to keep patients connected to their care plan.
