AmeriCorps and the Medically Underserved in Utah
 
 
 
AMUU members have contributed greatly to the improvement of health outcomes in the areas of immunization, diabetes, reproductive health, and have worked to reduce health disparities for special populations. AMUU has been supporting community health centers and their community partners since 1996. This program supports members serving in community health centers throughout the state of Utah. AMUU seeks candidates to fill 1700 hour terms. Members will provide two specific services: health insurance enrollment assistance and patient education. They will act as patient navigators assisting clients/patients to navigate the health care system. This will relieve the increasing burden on direct medical care staff by minimizing the need for these providers to investigate and answer patient questions about eligibility, health system navigation, or other topics that many providers are not qualified to answer. The AMUU member will become the expert in community partners and resources that enhance health care delivery services. They will become experts regarding health insurance enrollment processes, guiding eligible patients through the application process from beginning to end, resulting in more individuals becoming enrolled in insurance programs and decreasing the cost of healthcare. AmeriCorps will utilize a database specifically designed for the enrollment of eligible individuals into appropriate programs and will be trained extensively on Medicaid, Medicare and other state or federal insurance programs. Candidates must have a minimum of four years college experience (preferably medical background, social services or communication), be US citizens or permanent residents. Most positions require bi-lingual Spanish/English ability.
