About The Position

Join Elica’s mission and become a part of a team where every day is an opportunity to make a positive impact in your community! At Elica Health Centers, we share a common goal: provide the best possible patient care to our growing community! Our passion extends throughout Elica, from the exceptional healthcare services we provide to our underserved patients at our Community Health Clinics and state-of-the-art mobile medicine program, Health on Wheels, to our Resource Center where we empower patients and members of the community to connect with resources to help them build healthy and full lives. We are growing our Enhanced Care Management (ECM) program at Elica! ECM is a key part of CalAIM’s new statewide Medi-Cal benefit available to select “Populations of Focus" with complex needs and who are facing difficult life and health circumstances. This program is focused on breaking down the traditional walls of health care – extending beyond hospitals and health care settings into communities. ECM will address clinical and non-clinical needs of the highest-need enrollees through intensive coordination of health and health-related services and will meet beneficiaries wherever they are – on the street, in a shelter, in their doctor's office, or at home. WHAT YOU'LL DO : Care Coordinators assist patients to receive timely and effective care from Elica’s internal providers as well as referrals to community resources outside of Elica. The ultimate goal is well-coordinated care and optimal clinical outcomes. Care Coordinators work with patients individually and within a team environment to achieve these goals and because of their education & skills, are best able to educate patients as to the health benefits of coordinated care.
