Apply for Vice President of Strategic Partnerships

Diverse Health was founded in 2021 with a mission to deliver accessible, comprehensive, and culturally competent healthcare services through our state-of-the-art telehealth platform. We specialize in providing virtual primary care and mental health services, including psychiatric evaluations, provider oversight, and medication management for mood disorders, chronic diseases, and acute care needs. Our commitment to equity in health and excellence in care drives us to serve underserved and minority communities, ensuring everyone receives the attention they need. Our values center around inclusivity, compassion, and innovation. By leveraging technology, we aim to bridge gaps in healthcare access and improve health outcomes for diverse populations. Research underscores the importance of culturally sensitive providers in achieving better health outcomes. A 2019 study published in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities found that patient-provider racial/ethnic concordance is associated with increased patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment plans (Saha, Ayanian, & Cooper, 2019). This highlights the significance of culturally competent care in improving health outcomes for minority populations.

Diverse Health is a rapidly growing, mission-driven, multi-state healthcare organization delivering virtual primary care and psychiatric medication management. We partner with employers, health plans, healthcare organizations, universities, nonprofits, and community organizations to improve access to high-quality, culturally responsive care.

You’ll work directly with the Founder & CEO to influence strategy, create national partnerships, and build an organization committed to improving health outcomes and reducing disparities.
