Jonelle Kunz

I started my career on the acute care side, later transitioning into post-acute care in 2008, where I found my true passion. Since 2019, I’ve been working with what is now Arvon CIN a physician partnership with Corewell Health East. I initially joined in a consulting capacity, helping to build and develop a performance network, and about three and a half years ago, I transitioned into a direct employee role.

Today, I manage the Post-Acute Performance Network, collaborating closely with Skilled Nursing Facilities, Home Health Agencies, physicians, and hospitals. My role is centered on ensuring patients are discharged to the most appropriate level of care and receive the resources they need to remain safely out of the hospital. I focus on improving outcomes by keeping patients in the least restrictive environment possible—often their home—while ensuring they receive high-quality, coordinated care.

What I love most about my work is the ability to help patients behind the scenes. Many of them will never know I exist, but I advocate for them every day—working alongside incredible healthcare professionals to ensure patients have the support, resources, and care they need to succeed in their environment.

I’m fortunate to work with a network of passionate individuals and organizations who truly care about making a difference. In complex cases—especially when patients have multiple comorbidities—it truly takes a village. Strong relationships, collaboration, and shared commitment to patient satisfaction and outcomes are key.

And when things don’t come together perfectly, we view those moments as opportunities to learn, grow, and strengthen our approach—so we can continue improving and better serve our patients moving forward.
