Job Description:
Job Description Job Description h/care was born in 2018 with a
serendipitous meeting between two visionary healthcare
entrepreneurs as they waited for their elevator in Birmingham,
Alabama. United by a shared passion for transforming post-acute
care, they spent thousands of hours visiting agencies, listening to
caregivers, and gathering feedback from residents and their
families. This journey culminated in the founding of h/care in
2023-a company built on a foundation of high touch, high tech, and
unwavering trust, dedicated to delivering exceptional care and
experiences for both our internal and external customers. The
