Job Description

Clinic Support Assistant

Through the Idaho HealthCorps AmeriCorps program, Idaho State University's Institute of Rural Health places members across the state to address the health needs of Idaho's low-income children and families in rural, under-resourced areas. AmeriCorps members will be responsible for providing health education and health screening activities, which will result in improved access to health care in Idaho. In addition, the AmeriCorps members will leverage additional community volunteers who will be engaged in assisting the AmeriCorps members at their placement sites. Many Idaho residents are from rural, low income, and under-resourced areas and face significant health care challenges. Families from low-income backgrounds are often uninsured, may have language differences, and often lack access to health care due to lack of transportation, income or limited health literacy. As a result, the Idaho HealthCorps AmeriCorps member service locations stretch across most areas of the state.

Member Duties : The AmeriCorps member will serve with Genesis Community Health as a Clinic Support Assistant to increase access to care by assisting with patient interactions, clinic preparation, and participating in multiple weekly health clinics. The AmeriCorps Member will promote health, wellness, and strengthen Idaho support systems. The member will contribute to access to care and clinical support. This role directly supports priority populations while helping improve health outcomes and population well-being. By serving at Genesis Community Health, the member will expand access to healthcare, and support overall health. Members gain valuable professional skills and experience in healthcare, education, nonprofit operations, and engagement. Members do not participate in prohibited activities. Members do not supplement, duplicate, or displace staff members at Genesis Community Health. Members with this program have recurring access to vulnerable populations.
