Huntsville, Alabama, United States

About Us

Galileo is a team-based medical practice working to improve the quality and affordability of health care for all. Operating across 50 states, Galileo offers high-touch, data-driven, multi-specialty, longitudinal care to diverse and complex patients—on the phone, in the home, and everywhere in between. Regional and national health plans, employers, and Fortune 500 organizations trust Galileo as the leading solution to improve population health. Founded by Dr. Tom X. Lee, the healthcare pioneer behind One Medical and Epocrates, Galileo is a team of leading innovators from healthcare, technology, and human-centered design. Our mission is to apply that talent and scientific thinking to transform society by solving our largest, toughest healthcare problems, while at the same time bringing patient and provider closer.

About the Role

Reporting to the Local Ops Leader, the Clinical Health Advocate is the center of the care team, owning patient relationships and quarter backing a collaborative care plan that drives meaningful impact in our patients’ lives. We’re looking for teammates who are innate people-people, love helping others, and have a knack for tenacious problem solving.

Here’s what you’ll do:

  • Build rapport and trust with patients to truly understand and appreciate their needs. This includes motivational interviewing, therapeutic engagement, health coaching and other patient-centered strategies to improve health outcomes 
  • Work collaboratively with other care team experts like physicians, nurse practitioners, behavioral health providers and social workers to find creative solutions to help patients meet health goals and overcome social barriers
  • Become the ultimate go-to for our patients, building and strengthening relationships with patients, families, and the broader community
  • Provide and support patient care across several modalities including video, phone, and in-person interactions that occur in the community, in our medical mobile units, and in patients’ homes. Galileo has robust Covid precautions in place including screening, PPE, and regular testing but this role does involve direct in-person interaction with patients.
  • Operate as Galileo’s eyes, ears, and hands in the field- providing clinical support (examples include taking vitals, performing phlebotomy, facilitating video visits with other providers, basic wound care, working with point of care diagnostics and administering medications/vaccines within your scope of practice, etc.)

  • Strong communication skills, especially the ability to translate complex ideas into simple language
  • Meaningful ties to Huntsville’s diverse communities and an eagerness to effect positive change within it
  • A "hospitality mindset" and track record of creating memorable experiences for others, embodying a true joy in serving others
  • Ability or willingness to learn motivational interviewing or health coaching.
  • Ideally 1-2 years clinical experience as LPN, Paramedic or CMA
  • Ideally experience with phlebotomy (or excitement to learn) and a bonus if experience with injections (vaccines) 
  • Reliable access to personal transportation
  • For the safety of our patients and staff, employees in this role must be fully vaccinated with all necessary vaccinations. This includes a booster for a completed COVID-19 vaccination.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
