If you are interested in applying for the National Health Corps (NHC), you must complete a Member Application: application.nationalhealthcorps.org. Once your application is received, you will be contacted about the status of your application and next steps. NHC Chicago is a program of the NHC AmeriCorps program and is administered by Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago (PHIMC), a sub-grantee of NHC’s parent organization, the Health Federation of Philadelphia. NHC operates in 7 regions of the United States: Chicago, Delaware, Florida, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco. NHC members complete 1,700 hours of service over 42-46 weeks. Most member service activities take place at their host sites. Members’ host site service activities include COVID-19 response, care coordination, case management, health education, outreach coordination, and patient navigation. NHC members will produce significant and unique contributions to host sites' existing efforts to improve health outcomes in underserved communities by engaging in activities that confront community health needs, but would not otherwise be possible due to the lack of adequate funding, staffing, and resources at their host sites. Members are assigned a host site mentor who provides mentorship, supervision, and access to professional development opportunities at the host site. Members also participate in ongoing professional development, team-building, and additional outside/group service and committee activities through their NHC program. NHC and its partners strive to ensure that members can contribute to the capacity and reach of their host sites and have a rewarding experience that exposes them to a variety of health-focused careers.
