Amae Health is a Series A venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to becoming the nation’s center of excellence for individuals living with SMI. We collaborate with prestigious health systems and investors, underscoring our commitment to transforming mental health care delivery at scale.

You will establish and maintain trusting relationships with patients and families as you care for Amae Health members.

A provider who thrives at the intersection of clinical best practice, innovative care models and the latest technology, caring for complex patients is your north star.
