Mindoula is a next-generation population health management company that delivers data-driven, team-based behavioral health support across the continuum of care. We identify, engage, and serve populations with behavioral health and medical challenges and contract with payers, health systems, hospitals, and primary care practice groups to extend the reach of existing capabilities to integrate behavioral with medical care. Mindoula deploys tech-enabled teams of case managers, care managers, community health workers, peer support specialists, and psychiatrists to provide 24/7 support to even the most complex and underserved behavioral health populations. Mindoula’s member engagement and predictive analytics technology platform has made the company a market leader in hospital readmissions reduction, collaborative care, care coordination for the seriously mentally ill, and measurement-based psychiatry. We launched Mindoula because each of us has had personal experience with mental illness, either directly or through a loved one. We realized that the behavioral health system was broken and decided to take it upon ourselves to fix it by focusing on the people we serve, not their diagnoses or symptom sets. Each of us, and everyone we serve, is a person first, and a set of challenges second. Mindoula Health is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland but has operations in VA, DE, PA, WV, LA, NV, FL, NJ, NY, NC, OH, NE, MO, IL, KY, and DC. We are currently hiring multiple positions throughout our many locations, including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, physician assistants, case & care managers and have a particular need at present for skilled tele-therapists looking to work 100% virtually during this unfortunate pandemic.

Thimble is quick-thinking insurance for fast-moving businesses. We work hard to make it easy for 140+ professions like handymen, landscapers, DJs, artisans, and mall Santas (yes really) to get the insurance they need to take on every opportunity. We re-imagined the small business insurance policy from the ground up. Here’s how: Thimble is simple. Buy a policy online, in the app, or over the phone in minutes. Get to work before the other guys even call you back. No hold music, no endlessly confusing questions, no dead trees. Just get insured and get going. Thimble is scalable. Small businesses come in all stages and sizes. Get coverage by the job, month, or year. Choose how you pay, then upgrade when business really takes off. Thimble is flexible. Modify, pause, or cancel instantly whether hiring picks up or work slows down. When the punches roll (and they will), roll with ‘em. Green means GO. Get insured in minutes at thimble.com. The Legal Stuff: Policy details and terms and conditions are available within the app. Eligibility, pricing, and coverage may vary by state, activity or class, and other factors. Thimble Insurance Services is a licensed insurance broker in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
