Community Health Worker

3 months ago

Hazel Park, Michigan, United States Oak Street Health Full time

Company:
Oak Street Health

Title:
Community Health Worker

Role Description


The purpose of a Community Health Worker (CHW) at Oak Street Health is to act as the bridge between our patients, community, and medical systems in order to remove barriers and increase wellness across all life domains.

A CHW is a patient's advocate or liaison, accompanying patients through proactive in-person and phone outreach based on their care needs to promote health literacy and increase access to resources needed to live healthier lives.

High levels of flexibility, problem solving, strong communication, and an intimate knowledge of the community served are required to be successful.

CHWs work closely with MSWs to manage patient care plans, support care team decision making, and coordinate clinical and complementary services needed to provide high quality health care and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery.

CHWs are expected to work within their scope of practice. There is no expected clinical license for this position.

  • Establish and maintain strong interpersonal relationships with patients, community organizations, team members, and partners to coordinate patient needs

  • Community Health Workers should plan to spend about half of their time outside of the center in patient-centered locations; this means having access to a reliable means of transportation to do so is required

  • Complete referrals to organizations and agencies as needed
  • Deliver culturally appropriate health education in the areas where OSH has provided competency training to the CHW
