Description

The HHOME/Street Medicine RN Case Manager will help plan, coordinate, and oversee nursing services for both the HHOME team (40%) and the SFCHC Street Medicine team (60%).


The Homeless HIV Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HHOME) program provides intensive care management for patients living with HIV and simultaneously experiencing homelessness.

The RN will oversee adherence and nursing care for the HHOME program by collaborating with case managers and primary care providers in designing treatment goals and intensive care coordination.

In addition to clinical support, the RN will help us achieve program administrative goals, such as documenting and tracking patient outcomes.

The RN will also be a clinical member of SFCHC's Street Medicine team.

In this portion of their role, the RN will work in collaboration with providers and other members of the Street Medicine team to manage patient care, complete medication refills, design and implement complex care plans that address patient-centered goals.


In both roles, medical care will happen in both clinical and community settings, including drop-in clinics, on sidewalks, in tents and encampments, or in patient homes.

The RN must be comfortable working in non-traditional care settings and providing care to people who use substances, with complex mental health and medical diagnoses.

In addition, the RN will work collaboratively with community partners and area hospitals to coordinate care across the continuum and accept referrals for patients who would benefit from connection to mobile primary care.

Opportunities will be available for professional growth and development through participation in educational programs, review of current literature, in-service meetings, and workshops.
