Job description
This is a remote position.
Virtual Rockstar is hiring a full-time Remote Patient Monitor on behalf of our client — a rapidly growing home-based healthcare organization headquartered in Arkansas. This role is ideal for a compassionate, detail-oriented professional with a nursing background and strong Athena EMR experience who’s passionate about improving patient outcomes through remote care.

Their team of medical professionals brings high-quality, personalized care directly to patients’ homes, ensuring continuity and compassion every step of the way.
The organization’s mission is to make healthcare more accessible, proactive, and human by combining hands-on home visits with modern remote patient monitoring systems.
