2024 VISTA Oral Health Access and Outreach 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 expand the reach of PCRH’s oral health educational, surveillance and promotional programs. Specifically, you will: • Nurture the current and next generation of healthcare workforce. • Prioritize health communications that are timely, accurate, and empathic. • Utilize information systems, outsourced experts, and data collection to identify the story of PCRH and maximize impact. • 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.
