Head Nurse - Occupational Health jobs in Rochester, NY

Description

The health services that became the Anthony L Jordan Health Corporation (Jordan Health) began more than 100 years ago, in 1904. As one of the first 5 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) established in the nation, its roots are steeped in service to those who face barriers to health and health care, meeting their need for comprehensive medical, dentistry, behavioral health, and community services. Starting in northeast Rochester, NY, Jordan Health has since expanded to become a network of primary care offices and health centers serving residents living in three quadrants of Rochester, NY and in Canandaigua, N.Y. 

Jordan Health is now seeking an Occupational Health Technician who, under the guidance of the Chief Medical Officer, is primarily responsible for helping identify health risks, link patients to appropriate resources, make positive lifestyle choices, and establish baselines for regular health monitoring. The Occupational Health Technician will support the Operational Health Practitioner to effectively operationalize the principles of the Occupational Health Services (Clinic).
