CHCANYS Community Wellness Corps; Part Time

Overview

CHCANYS Community Wellness Corps is a workforce development program dedicated to assisting community health centers in addressing health care needs in their communities. Members may perform a partial year of service at community health centers, where they work to improve and expand the delivery of services at their sites. Part time positions (20 Hours per week) are available with prorated living allowances and education awards.

Our program prepares its members for careers in community-based primary health care. Members perform direct service with patients thereby filling service gaps, increasing access to and improving utilization of health center’s services. The mission of CHCANYS Ameri Corps is to assure the provision of culturally appropriate preventive and primary health care to medically under-served populations and communities with a focus on connecting patients to health education and treatment.

Health centers diagnose and treat budding health problems early, prevent unnecessary utilization of hospital emergency rooms and inpatient beds, and help cut health care costs.
