We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Per Diem Integrative Health & Lifestyle Specialist (FGP) - Manhattan, Center for Women's Health. In this role, the successful candidate plays a pivotal role in translating precision and lifestyle medicine into daily action within the Griffin Healthspan & Vitality Center at NYU Langone Health. This position is both a behavior-change specialist and a care-journey coordinator, supporting patients in implementing personalized care plans and lifestyle directives recommended by the clinical team.

The Health Coach focuses on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and recovery, helping patients build sustainable habits and improve healthspan markers over time. The Integrative Health and Lifestyle Specialist collaborates closely with physicians, NPs/APPs, acupuncturists, massage therapists, yoga/mind-body practitioners, dietitians, mental health providers, and other team members to ensure care is coordinated, patient-centered, and aligned with evidence-based integrative and lifestyle medicine.

This role is non-clinical and does not diagnose or prescribe treatment; it serves as an adjunctive resource to enhance self-management, adherence, and patient activation, consistent with leading integrative centers. The Integrative Health and Lifestyle Specialist supports adult patients living with or at risk for cardiometabolic and related chronic conditions in making sustainable changes across the pillars of lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of risky substances.

• Co-lead and assist in the development of curricula for group visits and/or shared medical appointments focused on lifestyle behavior change and patient education.
• Identify barriers to progress (e.g., social determinants of health, readiness for change, environmental challenges) and develop tailored solutions to support consistency and long-term success.
• Provide evidence-based education and resources to build patient understanding of integrative and lifestyle medicine and to reinforce the clinical care plan.
• Collaborate with clinical and nutrition staff to develop and disseminate culturally appropriate educational materials that meet the needs of a diverse patient population.
• Execute milestone touchpoints (e.g., new patient onboarding, key clinical milestones, anniversaries, pre-/post-travel) to maintain engagement and continuity.
