About The Position

At The Centers, meaningful work is grounded in a culture where people feel valued. As a 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces winner, the organization is nationally recognized, based entirely on employee feedback, for trust, purpose, and care. This position plays an important role in advancing our mission and supporting the communities we serve. At The Centers, we believe that every person deserves access to compassionate, high-quality care — no matter where they are on their journey. We are a community-anchored health organization committed to integrating physical, behavioral, and addiction services to meet people where they are. Our Substance Use and Addiction Services team works on the front lines of the overdose crisis, serving some of our community's most vulnerable neighbors with dignity, urgency, and heart. This is not a typical administrative coordinator role. As the Program Coordinator for Substance Use and Addiction Services, you will be the operational backbone of a complex, multi-program team — including our WinMAT walk-in medication-assisted treatment clinic, SUD Counseling services (individual, IOP, and PHP), Overdose and Infectious Disease Prevention (OIDP), and SUD Peer Support programs. Our patients often arrive in crisis. Many don't have phones. Real-time schedule visibility and seamless care coordination aren't just operational priorities — they are patient safety imperatives. Your work will directly impact whether someone gets the care they need today.

Requirements

Minimum of 2 years of administrative experience in a healthcare, behavioral health, or community-based setting.
Demonstrated experience with scheduling, care coordination, or multi-site program support.

Nice To Haves

An Associate's degree in Healthcare Administration, Public Health, Social Services, or a related field.
EPIC experience.
Experience supporting SUD, mental health, or integrated care programs.
Familiarity with prior authorizations, insurance verification, and documentation workflows.
Thrive in fast-paced, walk-in-heavy environments and can manage competing priorities without losing your footing.
Exceptionally organized, with strong time management skills and high attention to detail.
Communicate clearly and professionally — in writing and in person — across clinical, operational, and patient-facing settings.
Strong customer service instincts and a genuine commitment to patient engagement.
A collaborative team player who can support multidisciplinary teams with reliability and care.
