Patient Liaison/Advocate (Bilingual Spanish/English a MUST)
Gather Health
Lynn, MA
Description Who is Gather Health? Gather Health is a collective of outreach partners, care partners, clinicians and, most importantly, patient partners who work together to reshape lives and communities. We bring hands-on social and medical care to our patients and work around their needs, both within our care facilities and in their homes. We work alongside local leaders to build communities and provide tailored care experiences that serve the seniors that live within them. When we Gather, we show love, compassion, community, and care. What is this role about? Our older adult patients living in communities that we serve are faced with a variety of social challenges, called “Social Determinants of Health”, or SDOH. Internally called “Gather Guide Partner”, this individual will work closely with our patients to identify their needs, researching solutions that address various barriers, and ultimately enabling them to gain access to critical resources. These challenges include things such as food insecurity, social isolation and loneliness, lack of transportation, etc. The Gather Guide Partner (GGP) will get to know our patients and their unique situations such that they will become the trusted and consistent point-of-contact for them. The GGP will work collaboratively with our primary care providers, Medical Technician Partners (EMTs), and clinic administrators, as part of the care-team model. This partnership allows us to care for the “whole” patient, rather than only focusing on their physical health. Because of this, the GGP plays a significant role in our ability to provide the best care and support possible with a deep sense of commitment and compassion – and ultimately achieve our vision of creating equity in healthcare. What are some of the day-to-day duties? Duties The day-in-the-life of a GGP will vary, depending on the needs of our patients. The majority of your time will be spent in your designated clinic, where you will interact with our patients face-to-face as well as over the phone, virtual visits, etc. Some of the day-to-day duties will include but are not limited to:
- Handling phone calls (outbound and inbound) to/from patients to provide high level and customized service
- Conducting a face-to-face screening with new patients to identify their individual social needs and document notes
- Guiding the patients to the exam rooms to be seen by the clinicians
