Healthcare is an industry that relies on seamless access. A customer care representative (CCR) may be the first line of communication for St. Joseph Mercy Health System's consumers and patients. Working in a call center environment, CCRs take inbound calls as well as initiate outbound calls, offering information and answering questions to assist our patients and their families navigate the healthcare experience.
CCRs may also assist internal customers.

This CCR position is not a standard call center role. This position is expected to treat interactions with our consumers, patients, and internal customers as a conversation; the CCR will listen to and assess our callers' unique needs. The CCR, through their skills and knowledge, will voice the solutions needed to help enhance, expedite, and effectuate an ideal healthcare experience for callers. CCRs will be expected to facilitate directing physician referrals, collecting class registrations, and processing physician consult request, as well as completing standard hospital switchboard calls. CCRs will also have the knowledge base to prioritize complex and emergent situations. Our focus is providing exceptional customer service with empathy while resolving the customers' questions and requests, ideally on their first call.
