The mission of NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center is "Partnering for a Healthier Community". As an organization NorthPoint is particularly unique because of the co-location of a federally qualified community health center and a Human Services agency operating as an integrated entity providing health and human care services using well-defined service and delivery protocols. NorthPoint's integrated services development strategy recognizes the interdependencies of complex issues that individuals face, so services are provided using "whole person" approach while also looking at the impact that PSE's also have on the individual's health. The VISTA position is responsible for providing support to the NorthPoint Human Services and the NorthPoint Clinic teams focusing on efforts aimed at eliminating health disparities in North Minneapolis. This position will increase health awareness related to the importance of prevention and health promotion, as well as social and economic issues impacting families in a variety of ways, including outreach. Outreach activities may be conducted in neighborhoods, agencies, churches, park and recreation facilities and schools. Will identify adults and families in need of health and social services and connect them with NPHWC clinic or human services staff. Will research and develop best-practices group education programming related to a specific health area, nutrition or general wellness. This position also provides: research and program development, client support, outreach, client referrals, support the North Side Healthy Eating Project and strengthen relationships with NorthPoint’s academic partners.
