• Serve as the main point of contact for patients, making sure they understand their care plans and follow-up steps
• Schedule and track appointments, referrals, and diagnostic tests to keep patients on track with their treatment
• Work closely with the care team to coordinate services for patients with complex medical and behavioral health conditions
• Monitor patient progress through follow-up calls, education, and reminders to support medication adherence and lifestyle changes
• Advocate for patients by connecting them to community resources and addressing barriers such as transportation or financial constraints
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) system
• Collaborate with colleagues in team meetings, ensuring patient care plans are current and effective
