The Community Service Society (CSS) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that has been
at the forefront of public policy innovations that support low- and moderate-income New Yorkers for more than 170 years. CSS’s Health Initiatives Department runs a number of statewide programs that help New Yorkers find and use health insurance or otherwise access health care, including Community Health Advocates (CHA); the Community Health Access to Addiction and Mental Healthcare Project (CHAMP); the Independent Consumer Advocacy Network (ICAN); and several enrollment assistance programs.
These services are free for New York healthcare consumers and small businesses. It also coordinates the Health Care for All New York Campaign, a coalition of 170 groups dedicated to securing quality, affordable coverage for all New Yorkers. CHA serves over 35,000 New Yorkers a
year—saving them over $36 million annually in health costs—through a live-answer helpline and a network of advocates at community-based organizations across the state.
CHA seeks to hire a Health Counselor to provide consumer assistance to people who need help
navigating their health coverage, appealing denials of care, accessing care, and negotiating medical debt.
