DispatchHealth

Position

DispatchHealth is seeking an exceptional leader to assist with running the accounting system, provide the management team and shareholders with insight into operational performance, and ensure excellence in many administrative functions in the company. The Assistant Controller will also drive important projects to help grow the company.

The Assistant Controller will have the opportunity to define the structure of the accounting function, and to help hire a team to deliver quality results. He or she will create processes and policies that ensure timely delivery of accurate financial reports, facilitate the smooth operation of all financial systems, and support the rapid growth of the company while at the same time controlling costs.

Background

DispatchHealth is a pioneering company offering healthcare services delivered to the patient in their home or office. Founded in 2013, the company has integrated the best medical, and software development skill sets to develop a service that allows a patient to request care and explain their symptoms via a mobile app, the DispatchHealth website, or a phone call. Emergency-trained healthcare providers are then dispatched to the patient, who are prepared to handle everything from minor illness and injury to more complex clinical cases.

Unlike the traditional urgent care or emergency room visit, DispatchHealth’s team of board-certified caregivers brings the treatment to a patient’s home, senior community or office without the expense, inconvenience, or time requirements associated with traditional acute care delivery. The right care is provided in the right place, and for a price that provides 80 percent savings versus the cost of an emergency room visit.

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic and good-natured team who are creating a new model for healthcare delivery.

Markets and Partnerships

DispatchHealth currently provides services in 18 cities across the country with continued expansion in 2020. In addition to providing top-quality care to patients, the company partners with insurance companies, hospital systems, and employers to bring down the cost of healthcare.
