About this role
Community Health Family Nurse PractitionerIndianapolis, IN
About Vanna HealthVanna Health focuses on reimagining care for individuals with mental illness. Our goal is to empower these individuals to lead healthy and meaningful lives by providing social, physical and mental healthcare support and connecting members to community programs. Our technology-enabled approach, developed by our own team of engineers and designers, ensures our staff and members are well supported.
Vanna delivers in-person and virtual community-based engagement through an interdisciplinary team of coaches and clinicians. We leverage partnerships with existing community resources to facilitate support networks unique to an individual’s needs and location - connecting them to established psychosocial rehabilitation programs, resources for housing, transportation, etc. and various digital engagement opportunities to address members’ needs.
About the RoleVanna Health is seeking an experienced, recovery-focused Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) who is passionate about community care, health education and facilitating care that addresses all the dimensions of wellbeing. In this role, you will bring passion for serving individuals with mental illness and chronic physical health conditions, helping them access community-based care to improve health outcomes and quality of care for members of our Indiana locations in Marion, Lake, Allen and Vanderburgh counties.
This role focuses on conducting timely follow-up visits with members, within 1 week of discharge from the emergency department (ED) or inpatient setting for a behavioral health-related reason, either in-person in the field or via telehealth, with the goal of reducing 30-day readmissions and ED re-presentations. The FNP will support member medication adherence through education, medication reconciliation and bridge prescriptions as needed. The FNP will also address barriers to primary care access offering same-day urgent visits to help avoid unnecessary ED utilization, medication management and optimizing chronic disease management for high utilizers with complex conditions, and participating in complex case reviews. The FNP will play a key role in care coordination, working closely with Vanna Health’s interdisciplinary team to ensure continuity of care, address medical and behavioral health needs, and support engagement with outpatient services.
This position offers a flexible hybrid care delivery approach across multiple care settings with a primary base in the Indianapolis office. The role requires a strong in-person clinical presence with the flexibility of remote/telehealth coverage as clinically appropriate to support enhanced patient access to primary and behavioral health care.
