Care Management
Care Management is a challenging choice for nurses. As an integral part of
WellSpan Health, a Care Management career allows nurses to use clinical
skills and knowledge to assist physicians, patients, and families through a
hospital stay. There is frequent and daily communication with insurance
companies in the active sense of authorizing extended stays, home health
care, durable medical equipment, and transfers to other acute care,
rehabilitation, or skilled nursing facilities. The Care Management nurse is a
valuable resource of staff, physicians, and management in regards to acute
care criteria and appropriateness.

Hospitals. York Hospital has the only accredited trauma center in York,
