About The Position

The Bilingual Medical Case Manager contributes to AHF by utilizing their experience, skills, and education together with a thorough understanding of the Ryan White Care Act Program within their specific area. With a caring and knowledgeable focus, you will work with the immigrant community and new arrivals so that every Ryan White client receives the support they require and access to available resources. This will include providing education and assistance so that eligibility for the program is understood. Working directly with CALOR, you will meet with clients and complete Needs Assessments, develop Action/Care Plans, and provide ongoing education to patients so that they understand their diagnoses and their medications. For Ryan White contracts that combine psychosocial needs within Medical Care Management, you will understand mental health needs and basic needs such as housing, food, and clothing and develop relationships with programs and agencies serving those needs and facilitate referrals, support, and assistance for your patients who lack those services. The Bilingual Medical Case Manager enhances the reputation of AHF by utilizing your case management experience, you will meet clients where they are, identify strengths and opportunities for growth, and assist them with realistic goal setting. With your skills of collaboration and engagement, you will bring the essence of the Ryan White Care Act - the safety net for uninsured HIV/AIDS patients - to our most vulnerable population. By establishing Needs Assessments, Action/Care Plans, referrals, and support, your work will directly contribute to AHF’s success in meeting the deliverables of our Ryan White contract. Beyond the scope of the contract, your work contributes to measures established by the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) Measures and the Department of Health and Human Services. You will be a passionate advocate for our top initiatives. To be successful as the Ryan White Bilingual Medical Case Manager, it is crucial to ensure that the AHF Core Values and Mission stay top of mind with all that you do. At AHF, we are nimble and able to adapt in a dynamic environment to assist in providing the best experience for our clients and workplace for our employees. AHF has a collaborative organizational structure where staff are accountable to multiple leaders.
