The Health Care Navigator provides health care navigation, care coordination, participant education, and linkage to medical, behavioral health, substance use treatment, recovery, and wellness services across Positive Care Personal Care Homes, Inc. programs. The position works closely with participants, Case Managers, nurses, health care providers, behavioral health professionals, and community partners to identify health-related needs and address barriers that may affect housing stability, recovery, independence, and overall well-being.
Primary responsibilities include assisting participants with establishing primary and specialty care, coordinating behavioral health and substance use treatment referrals, scheduling and following up on appointments, assisting with transportation planning, supporting hospital and treatment discharge follow-up, and helping participants understand and navigate available health care resources. The Health Care Navigator also participates in interdisciplinary case conferences, communicates with providers as authorized, maintains accurate service documentation, and monitors referrals to help ensure continuity of care.
In veteran specific programs, the Health Care Navigator assists Veteran households with enrollment in and navigation of VA health care services, VA primary and specialty care, mental health and substance use treatment, VA Community Care Network providers, and other community-based health resources. The Navigator works collaboratively with Case Managers to address health-related barriers that may affect housing stability and long-term tenancy retention.
