Elevate your career to new heights with an opportunity that transcends traditional healthcare boundaries
Wellness Equity Alliance is actively seeking compassionate and driven individuals for several pivotal roles in our groundbreaking Street Medicine program. Street Medicine is an innovative and compassionate approach to healthcare, designed to meet individuals experiencing homelessness right where they are: on the streets, in shelters, or within underserved communities. Working for WEA is more than a job; it's a calling to serve those who are most in need, directly in their environment.
Purpose of the position
WEA has launched a unique street medicine program featuring mental health, substance use disorder treatment, and infectious disease in South Los AngelesAs an Lead Advanced Practice Provider (APP) with strong experience working with special populations, the position provides healthcare to the unsheltered homeless in street medicine in south LA.

Role includes assisting individuals in adopting healthy behaviors, with the ultimate goal of improving health disparities, evaluating and examining patients, diagnosing conditions, and providing treatments for symptoms and conditions.
The Street Medicine Lead APP is responsible for the mental and physical well-being of the community by advocating for health promotion, disease prevention, treatment, and education. The Lead APP is a trusted member of the community served. This trusting relationship enables the Lead APP to serve as the first healthcare professional who defines evident or underlying health issues. As these positions represent some of the early roles to help build this program, the Lead APP must have a considerable understanding of and direct experience working with communities, in a public health capacity.
