Join our team at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital and experience world-class healthcare at its best. Cleveland Clinic Indian River has been recognized as one of the top regional hospitals in South Florida. Indian River Hospital is in sunny Florida’s Treasure Coast where it is committed to providing optimal family-centric and community-focused care. At Indian River Hospital, you will be part of a collaborative, compassionate, and innovative team of caregivers. You will work with state-of-the-art technology and will build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a vital and unique role in linking diverse and underserved populations to health and social service systems. CHWs will primarily be working out in the community with specific target populations such as pregnant patients. You will work closely with medical providers, primary care teams, and other agencies to improve patient care and outcomes. This trusting relationship enables you to serve as a liaison, link and intermediary between health and social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. You will also build individual and community capacity by increasing your health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy.
