Outreach and Enrollment Coordinator (Cantonese/Mandarin)

Job description

Imagine a center where our seniors can receive transformative health care that will allow them to age at home and in their communities. At Asian Health Services, we recognize that so many of our elderly patients continue to struggle to get the care they need because of challenges that go beyond the walls of the clinic. To address these gaps, we’ve found a solution and model of care that integrates the quality care our elders receive at our health center with the most comprehensive support system, like transportation, culturally-inclusive meals, and social activities, our elders deserve. We are building a **Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)** to bring life-changing, culturally competent care to low-income seniors—supporting them as they age safely and with dignity, right in their communities. Based on the PACE model, **SpringLight Health** will offer coordinated medical care, transportation, meals, social activities, medication management, and caregiver support—all tailored to each individual’s needs.
