Program Assistant - Family Lifestyle Program (PRN - as needed)

The FLiP Patient Navigator Program and the FLiPRx Produce Prescription Program are grant-funded projects to build clinical-community collaborations to support equitable access to nutrition and activity resources for families experiencing food insecurity and/or chronic diet-related health conditions within DC. Our program trains medical student volunteers to serve as patient navigators; when clinicians receive a positive food insecurity screen, or have a family experiencing a diet related chronic health condition that would benefit from more nutrition access and education, they can refer to FLiP. Our student navigators participate in a 2-part training curriculum, as well as participate in quarterly meetings that expose them to a variety of topics relevant to health inequities and nutrition access. These students then connect families with community resources, screen for eligibility for federal nutrition programs, and screen for eligibility for our 6 months produce prescription program. We have historically focused on serving families within Wards 7 and 8 but are expanding our referral base to other pediatric medical homes throughout DC. 

With this expansion we are looking for an individual that is comfortable working remotely via the phone with community members to provide direct resource navigation, as well as providing administrative support for the broader patient navigator program.
