  • Project Manager/Community Engagement Coordinator (California)

    November 20, 2025

    Under the supervision of the Community Centered Hospital Initiative (CCHI) Project Director within the Department of Health Equity Innovation, the Community Engagement Coordinator (CEC) will manage and strengthen the complex relationships among community-based organizations (CBOs), hospitals, and the state perinatal quality collaborative (PQC) in the pilot community. Serving as a connector, the CEC will build capacity to enhance the effectiveness of PQCs and hospitals in engaging with communities. The CEC will be a member and resident of the pilot community, working on the ground to advance project goals and objectives as a NICHQ employee during the first three years of the project (August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2027). In years four and five, a portion of the CEC’s salary may be supported by the pilot community, with the expectation that the position will transition to employment under a community-based organization or other local entity after year five as part of the project’s sustainability plan. Leveraging strong community networks and personal and professional experience, the CEC will facilitate the cooperative design, development, and implementation of community-defined clinical projects among trusted CBOs, PQCs, and hospitals to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. The CEC’s service area may expand in years three or four, depending on the scaling strategy for the pilot state.
