Registered Nurse: Care Partner Program- Multiple Sclerosis

Our partner is developing a Care Partner program to assist providers with caring for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Most of what a person living with MS experiences happens outside of the office visit. We hope to lessen the burden of managing the disease both for the person living with it as well as those providing care. By doing this, we hope to improve outcomes for all involved. We are looking for our pioneer Manager of the Care Partner Program to be the lead in developing this program. It is a balance of clinical knowledge, organizational skills, business acumen, employee engagement, and compassion.
