The Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant is the primary care provider, providing whole-family primary, acute, chronic, and pediatric care to adult and pediatric family members in the home setting. The NP or PA is both a health practitioner and an educator, delivering care in a culturally congruent, non-judgmental manner and collaborating closely a clinical team comprised of physicians, behavioral health counselors, registered dieticians, and the partnership of a medical assistant upskilled to help support social services navigation when conducting care in the homes.

As the first value-based care provider built for families, Nest is on a mission to make comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care radically accessible to America’s highest risk families. Nest’s first-of-its-kind family-based, in-home, and virtual care model includes primary adult and pediatric care, mental health and nutrition support, vaccinations and labs, same-and-next-day acute visits, chronic condition and transitions of care management, social services and navigation, and more. In Louisiana, Nest’s headquarters and first market, Nest’s innovative model has resulted in partnerships with two of the state’s leading health plans, unlocking care for thousands of families across the state. Nest’s early success has led to national traction across states and payers, laying the groundwork for future expansion.

Nest and its leaders have won multiple awards including Rock Health’s Next-Gen Pediatric Innovations, New York Times Top Five Who Spread Hope, New Orleans City Business Power 50, and CB Insights Digital 150. Additionally, Nest has become a prominent thought and brand leader garnering national attention from outlets such as 60 Minutes, Business Insider, NYTimes, Fierce Healthcare, Axios and others. On a local level, Nest has been featured on all of Louisiana’s top programs including WGNO, WWL, WWNO (New Orleans NPR), WRKF (Baton Rouge NPR), and The Times-Picayune.

Founded in 2022 by former Secretary of Health of Louisiana and practicing OB-GYN, Dr. Rebekah Gee, and Rebecca Kavoussi, former President at Landmark Health, Nest has raised a historical Seed round of over $20M from top healthcare and industry investors including 8VC, Blue Venture Fund, SpringTide Health, Alumni Ventures, Gaingels, MVP, Health 2047, Ochsner Louisiana Investment Fund, Tulane Ventures, and others.

Working at a healthcare startup can be a unique experience with a fast-paced, ever-changing environment that can involve varied workloads, quick changes, and high expectations. Taking a position at a Healthcare startup allows for the opportunity to be high impact in disrupting the US healthcare system. You will have the chance to be creative, solution oriented, and have your voice heard! You will need to be flexible, accountable, and self-sufficient, and you might take on multiple roles. Here are some things you can expect:

● Your role may be less defined than in other settings, with the need to wear multiple hats & juggle various responsibilities.

● Learning opportunities- you will have the opportunity, at times, to function outside of your standard position and learn about new roles & areas.

● Fast Paced- Startups often must move faster than traditional large companies. This means you may be asked to cope with or advise on quick changes regarding systems or processes.

● Autonomy- You will need to be highly autonomous, as there is less structure and learning and development than at large orgs. This requires you to be able to learn asynchronously, as well as raise your hand when help is needed, or gaps are identified.
