Member Experience Specialist Physician Facing Team

About Carda

Rehab is a pain. So much so that only 10% of qualifying Cardiac and Pulmonary patients attend. At Carda Health, we’ve reimagined rehab. Our program allows patients to complete inspiring, convenient, life-saving therapy remotely.

Who are we?

We are a team of clinicians, data scientists, mathematicians and repeat entrepreneurs. And a few recovering financiers. Our belief is that technology and data, when applied to the right problem, transforms people’s lives and changes even the most entrenched industries. Carda was founded by Harry and Andrew, two friends from Wharton who share a family history of heart disease and experience with poor access to care. We now work with some of America’s largest and top-ranked hospitals and most innovative insurers. We are fortunate to be backed by some of the best investors in the business who have also backed the likes of Livongo, Hinge, Calm, MDLive, and others.

Who are you?

You are a master of follow-through with a talent for navigating the complexities of the healthcare ecosystem. You understand that behind every successful patient outcome is a mountain of critical paperwork that needs to be moved. Persistent yet professional, you arent afraid to pick up the phone to track down a missing record, and you take pride in the meticulous accuracy of your documentation. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift, but your attention to detail remains unwavering. Above all, you are a problem-solver who takes initiative to clear the path so our patients can start their journey to better health.
