About Cerula Care

Cerula Care is the first digital health company focused on providing integrated behavioral health (BH) services to people living with cancer. More than 17M people living with cancer have behavioral health needs such as anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and PTSD. We integrate with oncology practices and health systems through the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) to wrap our members with a behavioral health team, care programming, and outcomes analysis.

The Collaborative Care Model is an evidence-based clinical model that has been shown to successfully improve mild to moderate behavioral health needs more effectively than the current standard of care. Our care team enhances the traditional CoCM care team by adding a Health Coach (i.e., a health coach focused on holistic behavioral health), given our strong conviction in the benefit of health coaching and wellness in this population. With the right coaching program customized to our members, we will be able to improve our members’ behavioral health above and beyond traditional CoCM models.

Why Choose Cerula Care

We understand choosing a place to work is a really important decision, and we want you to know that we do not take it lightly on your behalf – we welcome all your questions as you go through the decision process!

A few things to know about working at Cerula Care:

Our culture is very collaborative, transparent, supportive, and feedback-driven. All of us (yes all of us – including and especially our co-founders) are open to receiving and giving feedback in a helpful way to ensure we each grow and learn every day and importantly are always improving for the sake of our members and each other.
We have a big mission to accomplish and we want people who believe in that mission to join us. However, in joining our mission, we are not asking you to give up other parts of your life - we all have our lives outside work, and we absolutely respect each other’s needs.
