Title: Community Health Worker

Company: Oak Street Health

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 Medical Social Workers 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.

* Meet with patients in patient-centered and patient-preferred locations (e.g., Oak Street Health center, patient's home, external medical provider facility, community setting)
* 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
* Drive engagement with high risk individuals (e.g., completed specialty appointments, adherence to Post Discharge Visits) may include accompaniment to appointments
* 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
* Support care team decision making through participation in interdisciplinary team meetings
