Community Health Registered Nurse (RN)

Hourly range: $36-46 per hour

About Vanna Health

Vanna is reimagining care and community for people living with serious mental illness (SMI). 

The current system is failing individuals with SMI, resulting in a high risk of loneliness (2.3x), homelessness (6x), unemployment (30x), incarceration (25x), and reduced life expectancy (by 20 years). Vanna believes that no person is too ill to recover and that the solution is social, not just medical. Our mission is to empower people with SMI to flourish by finding purpose and a sense of belonging in their community.

We are deploying community-based care teams from diverse backgrounds that have a variety of lived experiences and know their communities inside and out. In close collaboration with existing community organizations and healthcare providers, our teams outreach and build trust with individuals to support the navigation of each individual’s personalized recovery journey. We are committed to providing individuals with culturally inclusive support for all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and other social factors, such as history of incarceration.
