Integrated BH Clinician I/II
Company: La Clinica de la Raza
Location: Oakland
Posted on: April 19, 2024
Job Description:
Who we are: La Cl--nica de La Raza is a community-based health
center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality,
and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San
Francisco Bay Area. We have spent over 40 years advocating for and
creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to
care. As health care activists, we are dedicated to ensuring all
individuals have access to quality healthcare regardless of
coverage. From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we
understood that we cannot heal our communities without also
addressing the economic and social factors that affect health. Many
times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in
other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our
health center for preventive and primary care. Over 90,000
individuals come to La Cl--nica because it is a welcoming place
that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them
to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health
and well-being. While we are still known for our activism and
spirit of social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a
sophisticated provider of primary health care services with 35
sites across Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano counties. We are
also a National Health Service Corps approved site. As such, our
therapists and providers are eligible for federal and state loan
repayment!
