Medical Director (NY, NY)

About us:

Zealthy is a telemedicine company on a mission to provide critical healthcare services to all who need them. We are building the world's largest and highest quality telemedicine company and fundamentally expanding access to high-quality care.

While the Founder was most recently Founder and CEO at a unicorn healthcare company, the full-time team is currently only 13 people. The company is focused on sustainable growth, and the company is growing quickly to achieve its mission.

We work hard at Zealthy to ensure that patients can access high-quality healthcare from anywhere. This means working Monday-Friday in the office. Hours tend to be longer than at most companies because we work hard to serve our patients and make sure that we can achieve our mission of building the world's largest and highest quality telemedicine company.

The culture is focused on what we can do to serve our patients and all full-time members of the team will be equity holders in the business, as we firmly believe that all team members should be literal and figurative owners in what we are building.
