The Location:

The Position:

Caring for kūpuna (elderly) is one of society's most essential tasks, yet a fragmented health care system misses opportunities to ensure that our aging population is supported across the continuum of care. Kūpuna face daily challenges including chronic health issues, poverty, and access to food and social services. Our aim is to provide our kūpuna with care, support, and respect. Our grassroots, community-led model leverages Community Health Navigators (CHNs) or non-licensed, non-clinical wellness advocates and other licensed clinical staff to provide a trusted resource in the community. Needs are supported through transition of care support, health education, chronic condition management, and social services assistance through a culturally relevant approach. Support services are provided primarily in-person in the hospital and short term rehabilitation settings. In the community, services will be provided in person and telephonically, depending on patient preference and need. We are looking for compassionate, empathetic, and motivated community health workers to join our team.

• Supports comprehensive, collaborative care plan, based on care management plan and social determinants of health, using evidence-based chronic care guidelines where applicable, and patient/family goals for patients, recent discharges, and those in care transition to promote adherence to physician/provider recommendations and instructions.

• Assists the patient in improved healthcare access and promote patient knowledge of health and behavior change.

• Identifies patients who are overdue for visits, labs and referrals, contacts patients and arranges for follow-up services.

• Collaborates in developing patient treatment goals related to personal wellness, access to care, engagement with health resources and services, and self-management of conditions.

• Responds to patient inquiries and assist patients with the completion of paperwork.

• Facilitates remote visits between patient and provider using telephone or video conferencing.

• Educates patients on care processes and provides counsel to reduce anxiety and fear.

• Identifies patient barriers to care such as financial barriers, transportation, insurance, and language barriers, and refers patients, as needed, to additional resources to support engagement in care, including grants and financial assistance programs.

Requirements:

• High school diploma or equivalent.
