With over 160 years of clinical excellence and innovation, Hanger has established itself as the premier company in the O&P industry, delivering advanced solutions and clinically differentiated programs with unparalleled customer service. The company operates the largest network of O&P patient care clinics nationwide through its Patient Care segment and distributes branded and private label devices, products, and components through its Products & Services segment. Hanger's vision is to set the standard in orthotic and prosthetic markets by providing superior patient care, outstanding outcomes, comprehensive services, and exceptional value to its patients and partners.

The Community Care Coordinator (CCC) role at Hanger is an essential position focused on delivering exemplary patient support and customer service. The CCC acts as a patient advocate, offering proactive communication, emotional support, and education to individuals and families coping with limb loss or managing various orthotic and prosthetic needs. Reporting to the ACM/CM or their designee, the CCC ensures seamless coordination of care delivery for patients with amputations or limb differences, overseeing all stages from initial referral through surgery, recovery, treatment, and rehabilitation.

This role demands a thorough understanding of prosthetics, orthotics, and the wider medical and healthcare landscape. The CCC is responsible for guiding patients through every step of their care journey, providing consultation, comfort, and expert advice. The position requires close collaboration with healthcare providers and colleagues to build sustained referral relationships and foster opportunities that expand patient care outreach. Daily responsibilities include patient management, communication with multidisciplinary care teams, and coordination of services to ensure an outstanding patient experience.

Hanger seeks candidates with strong interpersonal and organizational skills, a compassionate and engaging personality, and the patience to support individuals through complex healthcare treatments and emotional challenges. This position requires excellent knowledge of insurance processes, surgical care coordination, and patient management systems. The CCC has a meaningful impact by helping patients achieve mobility and independence, embodying Hanger's mission to improve lives through innovative O&P solutions. The role also offers opportunities for professional development and requires a valid driver’s license for occasional visits to hospitals and rehabilitation facilities.

By joining Hanger, CCCs become part of a dedicated team passionate about delivering healthcare excellence, advancing patient outcomes, and fostering continuous innovation. The company values integrity, respect, and teamwork, encouraging employees to innovate, communicate openly, and place patients at the center of their work. The CCC is vital to maintaining these standards, supporting Hanger's position as an industry leader that transforms lives every day through expert care and groundbreaking O&P technology.
