About Lena Health

One of the beautiful things about working at Lena is the connection that we make with patients. At Lena, we believe fundamentally that navigating healthcare shouldn’t be so hard and that nobody should have to do it alone. Our team of advocates are the company’s most important assets, driving a unique patient experience that improves health and access to care.

We’re a young company, driven to create a new standard of the healthcare experience, and hungry to make a lasting impact in the world. By definition, this is not easy, so we look for passionate colleagues who are just “weird” enough to believe it’s possible.

The Role of a Lena Health Advocate

Lena Health Advocates are dedicated healthcare coordinators who provide support through phone calls and text messages. Lena Advocates provide this support and contact patients entirely through Lena’s communication platform.
