OUR MISSION

Perry Health is on a mission to rethink chronic care delivery through a purely-remote, continuous care model. This remote-first approach allows us to extend high-quality specialist care to all patients, regardless of geography or other care disparities. Although we plan on making Perry available to every patient with a chronic illness, we're starting with a focus on Medicare patients living with diabetes. Perry's remote care fills the necessary gap between physician appointments for our patients.

We equip our patients with cellular-connected devices (glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, etc.) that transmit data passively upon use, allowing even the most tech naive patient to participate. This real-time data flows to Perry's team of clinicians (physicians, nurses, dietitians), who monitor trends in the data and deliver proactive care over the phone. We've built a proprietary continuous-care Electronic Health Record (EHR), which can ingest these data pipelines and build elegant workflows on top of them for our clinical staff. Facing a chronic disease alone is overwhelming and isolating, and we aim to alleviate that emotional burden by providing care to our members 24/7.

Our high-touch approach to chronic care management creates tangible outcomes for our members and thousands of dollars in savings to the system by preventing hospitalizations, and we're just getting started.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an experienced Registered Dietitian who has ample experience helping people with diabetes to better understand and manage their condition and is passionate about changing health. You will be responsible for meeting with members to assess everything from their current health regiment, interpret their blood glucose readings as they relate to meal times and ultimately craft a personalized nutrition program for each member.

You'll join a team of RNs who focus solely on triaging acute blood glucose readings, CDEs who will support your members with medication and insulin interventions and board certified health & wellness coaches who will maintain high-frequency touch points with their members to incorporate your nutritional guidance into the members' SMART goals. Our members benefit from the collective specialities of our clinical team with this role driving medical nutrition therapy. Your day will largely consist of scheduled visits with members but you'll be made available to support any nutrition-related escalations as needed.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Provide telephone-based care to patients in Perry Health's RPM program
• Deliver swift, empathic care to our members and assess their competencies around their nutritional needs
• Craft individualized meal plans based on the members' health needs and access
• Meet members where they are and educate them compassionately on how to best manage their nutrition 
• Collaborate with CDCESs and Coaches as needed to reinforce nutrition guidance in weekly touchpoints 

QUALIFICATIONS

• Education: BS Nutrition 
• License: Valid, unencumbered Illinois state RD license is required. Strong preference for additional license(s).
• Certification: CDR, CDCES
• Minimum 3+ years experience managing patients with diabetes 
• Spanish-speaking preferred, certification required

OUR VALUES

Our patients are our purpose: We understand that the decisions we make have an impact on our patients' health. We are a healthcare company above all else. The choices we make are always in the best interest of our patients.

Bring your best self: The authenticity of our team drives our innovation. We show up for each other and our patients every day. Your teammates will count on you for motivation and support, and you should expect the same in return. Conversely, recognize when you are not at your best so you can seek support and take time to recharge.

Own your ideas and your results: Each member of the team contributes to the growth of Perry. Identify problems, seek solutions that maximize impact. Ownership is key; seek out support from team members, and take accountability for the results of your efforts.

Move fast, but with purpose: Consistent, rapid growth is expected. Set goals, work with purpose, assess, reassess, and pivot when necessary. Perfection should not impede progress. Ego should not prevent reevaluation. Each day will provide opportunities for learning and growth and will move us closer to our goals.

Good ideas come from anywhere: Ideas, good and bad, come from every level of the organization. Employees at all levels are empowered to share their ideas and feedback. The whole of Perry is greater than the sum of its parts. All ideas are considered, and when a decision is made we will move forward together.

Perry Health is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace, providing equal employment and advancement opportunities to all team members. We are building an environment where every Perry Health team member can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and do the best work of their careers. We value diversity and recruit, hire, and promote individuals solely based on talent, qualifications, competence, and merit. We evaluate candidates without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other protected characteristics as required by law and as a matter of our company values. 

All Perry interviews will be conducted via video and we'll never ask for any sort of payment. If you're contacted by anyone claiming to be from Perry who asks for credit card information, please report them and disengage.
