VISTA Healthcare Strategy and Workforce Policy Specialist

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services’ (UDHHS) Office of Primary Care & Rural Health (PCRH) was established in 1991, and serves as Utah’s primary health resource for rural and underserved communities. In support of our mission “to collaborate with statewide partners to improve access to quality health care in rural and underserved communities.” PCRH recruits health care professionals, identifies sources of funding, and implements other projects related to decreasing disparity and increasing access to primary, oral, and behavioral health care services across the state. Our vision is “to elevate the capacity of rural and underserved communities to deliver quality health care.” From your base in the UDHHS’ main office in Salt Lake City, you will work with PCRH colleagues and community partners to support the reach of PCRH’s health systems support programs. These programs contribute to the financial, operational, and quality improvement success of rural hospitals and clinics. Specifically, you will: - Address Utah’s health workforce shortages by working with PCRH colleagues and stakeholders that serve on Utah’s Health Workforce Advisory Council - Develop and implement a monitoring system to oversee execution of PCRH’s new 5-year Rural Health Strategy. - Develop and implement a system to build the capacity of Rural Health Clinics through site visits, potential webinars, and the PCRH website. - Implement other relevant projects identified by PCRH Director, Health Systems Support Coordinator, Workforce Development Coordinator, or State Dental Director. PCRH is seeking a VISTA member that is adaptable and flexible; willing to engage Utah’s rural communities and learn new skills; and able to collaborate with team members and partners to solve problems, make decisions and evaluate programs.
