Clinical Operations Manager
Avail Health
Clinical Operations Manager About Avail Health Avail Health is a Nurse Practitioner–founded organization dedicated to removing barriers to care, access, and meaningful clinical work for Medicare-age individuals. We combine thoughtful technology, strong operational infrastructure, and deep respect for the patient–provider relationship to enable nurse-led virtual and mobile care. By empowering nurses, reducing administrative burden, and supporting consistent, high-integrity clinical practices, we deliver compassionate, high-quality care through scalable, team-based, and data-driven care models that improve access, quality, and patient outcomes in the communities we serve. Program Overview Avail Health partners with Medicare Advantage health plans to support Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) members through nurse-led programs focused on accurate risk adjustment and proactive risk management. Care is delivered by a hybrid team of Nurse Practitioners and mobile nurses, with nurses supporting NP-led telehealth visits through in-person member engagement, clinical data collection, and coordination. The team conducts structured in-person and virtual assessments to identify and document chronic and complex conditions in alignment with CMS requirements, producing actionable insights for the health plan and care teams. In select programs, NPs also provide limited, plan-directed clinical support to address identified risks and close care gaps, improving member experience and health plan performance without serving as the primary care provider.

Company Summary Avalyn is reimagining the future of pulmonary fibrosis treatment with a pipeline of new inhaled formulations of approved medicines designed to reduce systemic exposure and deliver medication directly to the site of disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by scarring of lung tissue, decline in lung function, and reduced exercise capacity and quality of life, and is associated with increased mortality. Currently approved therapeutic options slow pulmonary fibrosis progression but are associated with significant toxicities that restrict their use and dosing. Avalyn’s inhaled approach tackles the underlying pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis at its source and is designed to reduce systemic exposure and deliver medication directly to the site of disease. Avalyn’s AP01 is an optimized inhaled formulation of pirfenidone, currently being studied in the ongoing MIST Phase 2b study in progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). AP01 has been assessed in over 150 individuals with different forms of pulmonary fibrosis and demonstrated clinical proof-of-concept with improved efficacy and safety compared to historical data with existing therapies. The company completed two Phase 1 studies for AP02, inhaled nintedanib, for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and is planning a Phase 2 clinical trial.
