About this role

<div class="content-intro"><p style="line-height: 1.2;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Ascend Healthcare is committed to providing fully integrated, quality psychiatric and behavioral health services in a compassionate, convenient, and affordable manner.  We work with external partners to provide services to patients across the country through integrated psychiatric medication management, substance use disorder treatment, counseling services, peer support and care coordination for seamless patient care. We believe in a “no wrong door” treatment model which finds ways to say “yes” to any patient referral rather than a multitude of exclusionary criteria found elsewhere. This approach reflects our values of improved patient and clinician experience, better outcomes, and lower costs.</span><span style="font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Ascend Story</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":278}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Founded to transform mental health care access, Ascend Healthcare delivers integrated psychiatric and behavioral health solutions with a commitment to equity, compassion, and operational excellence.</span> <span data-contrast="auto">We partner directly with health centers to build fully integrated, sustainable behavioral health programs—bringing deep clinical expertise, operational support, and long-term stability.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":278}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Our work environment fosters:</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":278}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Collaboration and teamwork</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":278}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Patient-First Mindset</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":278}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Work from home opportunities</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":278}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Career Growth and Professional Development Training</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":278}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Why Ascend?</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":278}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">You’ll be joining a team delivering innovative, compassionate care to communities that need it most.
