Marketing and Outreach Coordinator - Start ASAP

There are three initiatives, identified within our Strategic Plan, where the member would have an opportunity to contribute:

1. Community Outreach.  On our recently developed Balanced Score Card, this is one of 9 key metrics which is considered a fundamental component to our mission’s success.  Our goal is to engage in at least one Outreach event with a community partner each month.  The member would collaborate with Development Director and Clinical Leaders to support and eventually the lead the internal preparation and coordination of the Community Outreach events.
2. Marketing and Outreach.  The Development Director has recently created a Marketing Committee (comprised of staff, board members and local community members) to identify the best strategies of informing our local community of our services.  These strategies include better social media engagement to knocking on doors in specific neighborhoods.  The member would help the Development Director design, plan and implement the strategies recommended by the Marketing Committee.
3. Closing the “gaps” of Primary Care.  In our Strategic Plan, the Quality Analyst has identified opportunities to improve patient care and earn more “quality” dollars from insurers by closing the gaps on patient care.  The Member would work with the Quality Analyst and the COO to identify and implement strategies to outreach to patients so that they have no “gaps” in their care.
