Community Health Worker

At Oak Street Health, the Community Health Worker (CHW) is the vital link between our patients, their community, and the healthcare system. You are more than a liaison; you are a trusted advocate who meets patients where they are - literally and figuratively - to dismantle the social and physical barriers to wellness. By promoting health literacy, increasing access to resources, and reaching out to patients both in-person and by phone for frequent touchpoints, the CHW helps pave the way for patients to live healthier lives. Working in close partnership with the Medical Social Worker (MSW) and interdisciplinary clinical teams, you will navigate the complexities of housing, food security, and transportation to ensure our patients can focus on their health. This role requires high levels of adaptability, problem-solving skills, strong communication, deep empathy, and logistic planning. Successful candidates have an intimate knowledge of their local community, and a passion to improve the overall quality of patient lives.
