Job Description:
*Who we are**: * La Clinica de La Raza is a community-based
health center committed to providing culturally appropriate,
high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities
of the San Francisco Bay Area. We have spent over 40 years
advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have
been denied access to care. As health care activists, we are
dedicated to making sure individuals who do not have health
coverage get the same level of quality healthcare as those who have
it. From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we
understood that we cannot heal our communities without also
addressing the economic and social factors that affect health. Many
times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in
other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our
health center for preventive and primary care. Over 86,000
individuals come to La Clinica because it is a welcoming place that
addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a
broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and
well-being. While we are still known for our activism and spirit of
social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a
