STREET MEDICINE: MEDICAL OUTREACH FOR UNSHELTERED PEOPLE
Street Medicine is the practice of bringing health care to the people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in locations such as encampments, parks and under bridges.
About MedZed:
MedZed is a fast-paced organization focused on inspiring and enabling better health using technology to bring healthcare to complex, hard to reach patients. We partner with health plans and managed care organizations to allow these high-risk patients to be treated where they live. Serving members in seven states, MedZed has completed over 250,000 in-home visits and continues to expand throughout the country. Join the team and become part of our story.
We are embarking on a new care delivery model of street medicine delivering care to the unsheltered where they live to address their complex medical, behavioral health and social needs.
Our multi-channel engagement platform locates those that traditional bricks and mortar systems are unable to adequately reach despite their disproportionate and avoidable use of healthcare resources. Our team of Community Health Navigators and Licensed Vocational Nurses in-the-home are linked to MedZed primary care clinicians and other professionals using a telehealth platform.
We are seeking an exceptional Community Health Navigator to join our street medicine team. Will you innovate with us?
