Based in Los Angeles, California, we move health leaders to continuously improve the social drivers of health equity through the development of groundbreaking strategies, learning collaboratives, and targeted improvement campaigns. We believe that ‘health begins’ where we live, work, eat, sleep, and play—and we are looking for a mission-driven HEALTH EQUITY PROJECT COORDINATOR who will help our project teams coordinate project activities and manage resources, while additionally supporting the scheduling and planning of both internal and external meetings. The project coordinator will work with remote teams across health care, public health, and/or social services spaces.
