    Health Educator II - Oakland, United States - La Clinica de La Raza

    Default job background
    Description

    Who we are:

    La Clínica de La Raza is a community-based health center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San Francisco Bay Area.

    We have spent over 40 years advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to care.

    As health care activists, we are dedicated to making sure individuals who do not have health coverage get the same level of quality healthcare as those who have it.

    From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we understood that we cannot heal our communities without also addressing the economic and social factors that affect health.

    Many times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care.

    Over 90,000 individuals come to La Clínica because it is a welcoming place that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and well-being.

    While we are still known for our activism and spirit of social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a sophisticated provider of primary health care services with 35 sites across Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano counties.


    Be a wellness ambassador:

    La Clínica was founded over 45 years ago by activists who saw the need for high quality culturally appropriate healthcare for Latinos in the Fruitvale area.

    As a Health Educator at La Clínica, you will build upon our strong legacy, serving an ever more diverse population, and working shoulder to shoulder with some of the most dedicated community health educators.

    If you are passionate about transforming our communities into healthy and empowered spaces, La Clínica is the place for you.

    We are seeking Health Educators who are passionate about teaching and sharing information with others and promoting wellness.

    As part of the La Clinica team, you will be joining a dedicated team that provides our diverse community the high-quality services they deserve.
