Job Description
One Medical is a primary care solution challenging the industry status quo by making quality care more affordable, accessible and enjoyable. But this isn’t your average doctor’s office. We’re on a mission to transform healthcare, which means improving the experience for everyone involved - from patients and providers to employers and health networks. Our seamless in-office and 24/7 virtual care services, on-site labs, and programs for preventive care, chronic care management, common illnesses and mental health concerns have been delighting people for the past fifteen years.
In February 2023 we marked a milestone when One Medical joined Amazon. Together, we look to deliver exceptional health care to more consumers, employers, care team members, and health networks to achieve better health outcomes. As we continue to grow and seek to impact more lives, we’re building a diverse, driven and empathetic team, while working hard to cultivate an environment where everyone can thrive.
One Medical’s High Risk team is looking for a Community Health Worker (CHW) to act as the bridge between our patients, community resources, and healthcare services in order to remove barriers and increase wellness. Reporting to the Resource Navigation Program Manager, a CHW is a patient’s advocate or liaison, accompanying patients through proactive in-person and virtual or telephone outreach to promote health literacy and increase access to resources needed to live healthier lives. As a key member of the High Risk Care team, CHWs work with patients to identify personal health goals, support care team decision making, and coordinate clinical and complementary services needed to provide high quality health care, while also improving the quality and cultural competence of service delivery.
