Description

About We are a forward-thinking health tech start-up dedicated to transforming delivery of healthcare, starting with musculoskeletal conditions (MSK). 50% of the workforce shows up to work in pain due to an MSK condition ranging from acute pain, like muscle strains, to more chronic pain. People with MSK conditions are frequently misdiagnosed and often receive passive treatments such as opioids, injections, or surgery. Many of these costly and high-risk interventions can be avoided with more modern, evidence-based approaches to preventing, diagnosing, and treating MSK pain. Building on our work to pinpoint the underlying drivers of MSK pain, we developed a complementary program designed to identify the core factors contributing to other chronic conditions, including cardiometabolic disorders, cancer, cognitive decline, and mental-health challenges. These conditions commonly appear as comorbidities that complicate MSK care and influence outcomes. This NBC-HWC health coach will be integral to our mission of helping members reduce or prevent chronic disease through evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine, as defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM). In this role, the coach will not only guide members in achieving meaningful, measurable health goals, they will also serve as a key partner to the Program Lead, shaping the ongoing evolution of our program. The ideal candidate will contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous enhancement of program strategy, systems, and resources that elevate both member outcomes and organizational impact.
