About The Position

The health services that became the Anthony L Jordan Health Corporation (Jordan Health) began more than 100 years ago, in 1904. As one of the first 5 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) established in the nation, its roots are steeped in service to those who face barriers to health and health care, meeting their need for comprehensive medical, dentistry, behavioral health, and community services. Starting in northeast Rochester, NY, Jordan Health has since expanded to become a network of primary care offices and health centers serving residents living in three quadrants of Rochester, NY and in Canandaigua, N.Y. Jordan Health is now seeking a WIC Nutritionist who, under the guidance of the WIC Supervising Nutritionist/WIC Program Manager, is primarily responsible for providing staffing assistance in the WIC clinic to cover vacations while completing WIC eligibility and appointments for WIC participants. If you want to apply your specialized experience and education in an environment where you can make a difference and significantly impact patients’ quality of life, please consider our WIC Nutritionist opportunity.
