Why This Role Matters
The HUB Case Manager is a highly visible, relationship-driven role that combines nursing expertise, workers' compensation knowledge, employee education, and operational support. This position plays a key role in helping employees successfully navigate their recovery and return-to-work journey while supporting leaders and stakeholders throughout the process.
