About Stealth Co.

Our vision is to help people with severe physical health conditions improve their quality of life. Today, we provide behavioral health care to the 17 million cancer patients in the US as an extension of their medical treatment.

One out of every three cancer patients has a diagnosed mental health condition but only 25% of them receive treatment for their mental health challenges, exacerbating quality of life, worsening health outcomes, and increasing their total cost of care to the system. We are on a mission to provide relevant, accessible behavioral health at the point of care that is embedded within a patient’s oncology practice. We are backed by a premier venture capital firm and are building a world-class team of clinicians, technologists, and healthcare operations builders passionate about helping cancer patients improve their quality of life.

We use Collaborative Care, pioneered by the University of Washington AIMs center, to provide patient-centered care and evidenced-based techniques such as problem solving treatment, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and behavioral activation and ensure a patient’s behavioral healthcare journey parallels and supports their cancer treatment journey. Our model delivers additional revenue to the practices we partner with, improves patient outcomes, and redefines what it means to deliver whole-person cancer care.

About The Role

As a Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM) at Stealth Co, you will deliver virtual care to cancer patients through the Collaborative Care Model. Specifically, you will improve the health of your patients by providing brief behavioral health interventions and serving as the quarterback of the collaborative care team, which includes the patient’s oncologist and as well as a consulting psychiatrist.

You will be joining an early-stage company and will have the opportunity to impact the design and implementation of this innovative care model. This will be a remote role.
