LPN Central Admissions - Center for Connected Care

Cleveland Clinic’s Business Operations Center serves as a key hub for our Home Care and Hospice operations as well as many administrative and support teams. This collaborative workplace supports a wide range of caregivers, clinical professionals, and operational teams.

As an LPN Central Admissions, you will facilitate the timely and appropriate initiation of Home Health, Hospice and Infusion Pharmacy services for all referred patients. While you may not closely interact with patients on the job, your work will directly impact their care and make a lasting difference in their lives. As a part of the Cleveland Clinic team, you will also have access to a wealth of online and in-person development opportunities to enhance your skills and advance the Professional Ladder.
