About the Job
Objective/Overview
In pursuit of its mission, Transforming care and education to advance the health of our patients and the communities we serve, CUHCC provides medical, dental, and behavioral health care to nearly 12,000 racially and culturally diverse patients annually. The vast majority of patients live below federal poverty lines and more than half require language interpretation services.
The clinic integrates primary care, behavioral health, and dental services. Our behavioral health department encompasses outpatient psychiatry and therapy, Substance Use Disorder services, and IBH-Care Coordination embedded in primary care. Community programs, including ARMHS and Targeted Case Management, further support whole-person care. A key aspect of this role is to facilitate collaboration across these service lines and programs, promoting team-based care as CUHCC continues to fully implement the Health Care Home model.
The Integrated Care & Community Health Program Manager provides dual clinical and programmatic leadership for CUHCC’s Integrated Behavioral Health-Care Coordination (IBH-CC) team and the Community Health Team, composed of community health workers (CHWs). This role combines direct patient care with operational oversight and clinical supervision. The Program Manager ensures high-quality, trauma-informed, culturally grounded behavioral health and community health services within a highly diverse primary care clinic.
