Wound Care Telemedicine Physician (Supervising)

About the role

At NIVA Health, we believe everyone deserves to live their best life. Our mission is to revolutionize healthcare by providing innovative, high-quality solutions that elevate the well-being of our patients and communities. We are dedicated to leading healthcare innovation by providing patient-centered, insurance-based services that offer long-term solutions. Our wound care program brings specialized treatment for chronic and non-healing wounds directly to patients where they live, supported by a telemedicine model that keeps physician oversight close at hand. Comprehensive Home-Based Wound Care: Our clinical teams treat diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical dehiscence, and other complex wounds in the comfort of patients' homes — a critical service for non-ambulatory and homebound patients. Telemedicine-Enabled Oversight: Physicians review wound images and clinical data remotely and consult by video, allowing specialized wound expertise to reach patients regardless of location and without delay. Insurance-Based Services: Our services are insurance-covered, ensuring specialized wound care is accessible to a broad patient base without compromising quality. Advanced Modalities: We use regenerative and advanced wound care therapies, including cellular and tissue-based products, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Whole-Patient Approach: We integrate functional medicine principles to address the nutritional deficiencies, glycemic control issues, and chronic conditions that drive delayed healing — treating the patient, not just the wound bed. Empowerment through Education: We educate patients and caregivers on dressing care, offloading, and lifestyle modifications that support durable healing and prevent recurrence.
