About Us:

Cityblock Health is the first tech-driven provider for communities with complex needs—bringing better care to where it’s needed most, block by block. Founded in 2017 on the premise that “health is local” and based in Brooklyn, we are backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community-based care teams and Virtual Care offerings.

In close collaboration with community-based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. Equipped with world-class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve.

Over the next year, we’ll grow quickly to bring better care to many more members and their communities. To do this, we need people who, like us, believe that everyone should have good care for what matters to them, in their community.

Our work is grounded in a belief in the power of a diverse community. To close gaps in care and advance equity in the communities we serve, we have to start with making our own team diverse and inclusive. Our ways of working are characterized by creativity, collaboration, and mutual learning that comes from bringing together a community from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to ensure that every person on the Cityblock team, and every Cityblock member, feels supported and included as a part of our community.

Our Values:

• Aim for Understanding
• Be All In
• Bring Your Whole Self
• Lean Into Discomfort
• Put Members First

About our Team:

We employ a field-based, home-based care model and are committed to meeting members where they are--in their homes, in their community, and in our Hubs. You will go above and beyond to connect with Cityblock members in a non-judgmental, respectful and empathic manner, to meet their needs, and to provide feedback to the system as a whole as we strive to do better every day.

About the Role:

The Cityblock Behavioral Health Team supports integrated primary and acute medical care, behavioral health (BH) and social care, advancing equity in access and outcome. By working with members, the multidisciplinary team, and external partners, we proactively work to ensure all our members receive the best care possible. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner you will:

• Work in a radically different model of healthcare
• Expect collaboration, shared-decision making, and partnership across clinical and non-clinical care team members, including our large team of Community Health Partners
• Follow a panel of members to improve their health holistically through behavioral health assessments, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, treatment planning, clinical treatment, medication management, and follow up planning
• Provide medication assisted treatment, comprehensive care management, chronic disease management, urgent home-based and community-based primary care visits, preventative care and wellness, liaison with relevant other providers around behavioral health and long term service and support needs, and the provision of palliative care
• Perform episodic urgent behavioral health visits and/or telephone calls for members on your panel to ensure timely and appropriate medical care in order to avoid emergency department visit or hospitalization
• At times conduct home visits, including scheduled and unscheduled urgent member needs
• Respond to pages during certain working hours for urgent BH escalations and rarely during evening or weekend hours as part of an on-call rotation.
• As a full-time employee, you should aim to spend approximately 30 hours of your time on Direct Patient Care (visits) in order to comply with weekly appointment goals. This should be adjusted based on member need.

• You are a Board-Certified (or Board-Eligible within one year of employment) Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with an unrestricted license to practice in the state in which you are seeking employment with Cityblock

• A valid ANCC Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification
• Maintenance of professional credentialing and CME standards
• You have experience providing direct mental health treatment and/or substance use treatment
• You have experience providing clinical services to individuals with both chronic medical and behavioral health conditions, and have interest in serving medically complex, vulnerable, and disabled populations
• Proven skills, knowledge base, and judgment necessary for independent clinical decision-making
• You are an adaptable, organized, efficient, independent self-starter and problem-solver, a leader, a strategic thinker, and a mentor, who is excited about the big picture of whole community health
• You are excited about how technology can support your work and help drive the ongoing evaluation toward new and better care
• Work a full-time 40 hour week, Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm ET, consisting of team meetings, case conference, supervision, and field-based independent clinical and co-visits. This is a hybrid role and hours onsite vs. virtual would depend on members needs
• Care at times will be virtual, and at times will be in-person, in a physical clinical hub or member’s home.
• Have proficient experience using and navigating an EMR
