Upward Health

Headquartered in New York, NY, the organization treats physical, behavioral, and social health needs through a clinical team that includes doctors, nurses, and Care Specialists. The company emphasizes a holistic approach, addressing everything from poorly controlled chronic conditions like blood sugar management to anxiety treatment to connecting patients with medically tailored meals. They report a 98% patient satisfaction rate. For nurses, Upward Health offers field-based roles such as the Nurse Care Manager position, which involves care coordination for high-risk patients requiring comprehensive care plans addressing chronic conditions. This model means nurses work autonomously in community settings rather than in a traditional facility, coordinating multidisciplinary care across the full spectrum of patient needs. The company describes its work as 'challenging, dynamic, and most importantly, deeply rewarding,' and emphasizes that it takes care of its own employees by providing them with a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and belonging. Their 2025 employee engagement survey results placed them in the 96th percentile for Company Engagement compared to global healthcare industry benchmarks, positioning them within the top 5% for employee engagement.

The company expects every employee to know and follow these values, holding each other accountable while creating a safe space for authenticity. The overarching mission is to improve the lives of patients through whole-person, in-home care.
