    Organizational Information:


    At Wellpoint Care Network, we have seen exactly how trauma, poverty, systemic racism, social injustices and other barriers create instability in all areas of life.

    The people in our care face education and health disparities, high unemployment rates and unaffordable housing. What's worse, many have lost connections to resources, family, friends and other support systems.

    We have seen the toll it has on a person's physical, emotional, and financial well-being to try and successfully navigate complex systems that may have failed them in the past.

    We believe there is a better way. So, we have anchored ourselves in our 170 years of caring for our neighbors through modernized human services.
    Wellpoint Care Network provides a rich continuum of services, including:
    Child Welfare and Foster Care
    Support for youth who have aged out of care
    Care Coordination and Wraparound services
    Mental health therapy and supports such as our Clinic, Family Preservation, Caregiver Support and Integrated Community Treatment
    Professional education and clinical consultation (for organizations, schools, and individual/family)

    Wellpoint Care also works to promote a diverse and caregiving environment to ensure that those we serve and employ are valued, accepted, respected and treated equitably.

    Equity means we work tirelessly toward fair and just treatment, systems and policies.

    At Wellpoint Care Network, we believe that we are accountable – individually and collectively – when inequity or injustice replaces equity and inclusion.

    Inclusivity means that we consciously build groups that welcome and celebrate differences in age, race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, gender expression, education, socio-economic background, personal history, geographical location, marital status, parental status and work experiences.

    Interested parties please apply online. We are committed to enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion and strongly encourage minority candidates to apply. For more information, visit our website
