Salud Family Health Centers
(Salud) is a non-profit, federally qualified health center with a mission to
provide quality, comprehensive primary health services to residents of
north-central and northeastern Colorado. We aim to reduce barriers to
healthcare for an underserved, often low-income population in an attempt to
improve the overall health of the communities we serve. Salud is recruiting 14
full-time Community HealthCorps Members, who are passionate about service and
community health, to serve across our clinics. We are currently recruiting for
the following clinics: Brighton, Commerce City, Frederick, Fort Collins, Fort
Lupton, and Longmont. All Members serve on the Transitions of Care/Home Visit
team, acting as liaisons between the clinic, hospital, and community. Members
take steps to reduce hospital readmission rates, provide better quality care to
Salud patients, reach out to high-risk patients, and provide community based
and in-home services. Additionally, Members participate in team meetings,
service projects with community partners, team-building activities,
professional development, and trainings. You will receive further information
about the role of the Community HealthCorps Member at Salud and the placement
sites upon receipt of your application.
