About Us

As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community by leading innovation across our system.

Founded by Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass General Brigham supports a complete continuum of care including community and specialty hospitals, a managed care organization, a physician network, community health centers, home care, and other health-related entities.

Several of our hospitals are teaching affiliates of Harvard Medical School, and our system is a national leader in biomedical research.

We're focused on a people-first culture for our system's patients and our professional family. That's why we provide our employees with more ways to achieve their potential.

Mass General Brigham is committed to aligning our employees' personal aspirations with projects that match their capabilities and creating a culture that empowers our managers to become trusted mentors.

We support each member of our team to own their personal development-and we recognize success at every step.

Our employees use the Mass General Brigham values to govern decisions, actions, and behaviors.

These values guide how we get our work done:

Patients, Affordability, Accountability & Service Commitment, Decisiveness, Innovation & Thoughtful Risk; and how we treat each other: Diversity & Inclusion, Integrity & Respect, Learning, Continuous Improvement & Personal Growth, Teamwork & Collaboration.

General Overview

Across the country, governments, employers, and American families have struggled in the face of rising healthcare costs. Efforts historically have targeted narrow programs and patient populations, and while many have succeeded, healthcare costs continue to rise. It's time to take a radically different approach.

A new approach involves putting the patient at the center with the goals of improving value and providing better outcomes at lower cost for patients.

The Population Health Management (PHM) department at Mass General Brigham is charged with the challenge to drive better value for patients across Mass General Brigham.

To achieve its goals, PHM leverages financial and clinical data to examine opportunities, designs and delivers innovative care models using product development and design thinking disciplines, and leverages problem solving, teamwork, and leadership skills to drive ongoing improvement.

The Behavioral Health (BH) Community Resource Specialist is responsible for managing requests from and finding mental health treatment in the community for adult and pediatric Medicaid patients.

The Resource Specialist researches and identifies a customized list of resources to meet the needs of the individual patient, schedules appointments for patients, and communicates the results to both the patient and care team.

The position requires a high degree of flexibility, independence, and willingness to participate in multiple activities and provide support to all members of the care team.

The position requires strong communication skills and the ability to converse comfortably with patients and their caregivers, practice, and program staff.

The BH Community Resource Specialist will play a vital role in assisting the PHM team in achieving its goals and outcomes as well as serving the large Medicaid patient population within Mass General Brigham.
