College Health Corps VISTA, HealthFinders (MNCC)
 
 
 
HealthFinders Collaborative (HFC), a free community health center, provides a comprehensive first access point to health services for the marginalized families of Rice County. Through primary care, medication assistance, patient education and advocacy, and community-based wellness programming, HFC works across the continuum of wellness to engage communities in their own health. This AmeriCorps VISTA position, hosted by Minnesota Campus Compact and HFC, will work to build organization capacity at this critical stage of growth in response to increasing demand for services. The VISTA will do direct community organizing, continuing to facilitate the growing Patient Engagement and Community Leadership Initiative aimed at authentically increasing patient voice in clinic programs, leadership, and administration. HFC believes in the inherent power of communities to care for their own health. As such, we organize culture-specific Family Health Councils to give voice and genuine leadership in decision-making to our patient communities, important work the VISTA will work to deepen and sustain. Additionally, the VISTA will work to mature existing collaborations with two undergraduate institutions that have a long and growing history of collaboration with HFC; the VISTA well as assist in developing the 2013-2014 academic-civic projects, as well as connect and support over two-dozen interns to community wellness programs.
