Overview
Street Medicine provides direct healthcare to unhoused individuals, wherever they are, with a strong focus on assessing and responding to their physical, social, and psychological identified needs. As an LVN on the Street Medicine team, you will provide essential nursing care, contribute to community health initiatives, and work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team to promote health and well-being among vulnerable populations.
Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is a statewide Medi-Cal benefit available to select members with complex needs. Enrolled members receive comprehensive care management from a lead care manager who coordinates all health and health-related care, including physical, mental, and dental care, as well as social services. ECM facilitates access to the right care at the right time, in the right setting, beyond traditional healthcare environments.
Community Supports (CS) are services provided by Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCPs) that address health-related social needs, promoting healthier lives and reducing the need for higher, costlier levels of care.
