About The Position

Wellness Equity Alliance is actively seeking compassionate and driven individuals for several pivotal roles in our groundbreaking Street Medicine program. Street Medicine is an innovative and compassionate approach to healthcare, designed to meet individuals experiencing homelessness right where they are: on the streets, in shelters, or within underserved communities. Working for WEA is more than a job; it's a calling to serve those who are most in need, directly in their environment.

We are seeking an experienced Enhanced Care Management Project Manager to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of care management programs that improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. The Enhanced Care Management Manager will work closely with healthcare providers, patients, and their families to ensure that patients receive the highest quality of care.

WEA has launched a unique street medicine program featuring mental health, substance use disorder treatment, and infectious disease in South Los Angeles and Riverside!

The most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness have likely been failed by institutions many times in their lives, and their mistrust of authorities, institutions, and individual care providers may represent an attempt at self- protection that, over time, becomes a barrier to accessing care and resources that could improve their lives. The street medicine team will work to build trusting relationships with people who are in need of medical services, work to decrease the logistical barriers that block access to health care and provide care directly to the places where unhoused individuals live.

The Project Manager will oversee the delivery of comprehensive, person-centered care planning and coordination services to eligible populations, ensuring compliance with state regulations and alignment with our mission to improve health outcomes for the communities we serve.
