COMPANY OVERVIEW:
At Holon Health, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the way healthcare services are delivered.

We help these individuals navigate chronic medical conditions, SUD, and Behavioral Health needs with a focus on prevention, integrative treatment, and recovery.
Holon Health’s initiatives develop, support, and maintain relationships with provider partners and community-based organizations to promote programs advocating long-term health and wellness for this complicated population. By acting as the first point of contact for the justice systems and programs with whom we partner, Holon Health provides timely and efficient brief interventions to better prepare patients to receive community-based services and engage in proactive, prosocial behaviors.
POSITION SUMMARY:
Holon Health is seeking a Per-Diem Clinical Care Navigator in Arizona to join our Collaborative Care Management (CoCM) Program in Arizona. This individual MUST be both licensed and located in Arizona. The program is an exciting opportunity for a licensed clinician who is interested in health equity, justice, substance use prevention, diversionary programs, and advocacy on behalf of an underserved population by creating systemic change through innovation and center of excellence models of care.
SCHEDULE:
PRN (up to 20 hours per week) including evenings. The ability to work occasional weekends is a HUGE plus! Work will primarily be done remotely.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Clinical Care Navigator functions as the primary care coordinator for patients and collaborates with key clinical staff and providers to ensure comprehensive care and treatment from providers. By utilizing comprehensive assessments and root cause analysis, including the use of standardized tools of measurement, you will participate in the development of an individualized care management plan to support health improvements.

When communication with existing providers or referrals to new providers are determined beneficial, you will facilitate conversations and collaboration of an interdisciplinary Care Team supporting medical, behavioral health, SUD and specialty care while also assisting to remove barriers associated with social determinants of health.
While patients may be waiting for services through outside referrals for BH or SUD to begin, you will provide brief, solution focused interventions and motivational therapy to maintain active engagement and perhaps begin to alleviate some of the stressors which have caused struggles or prevented a patient from being able to obtain appropriate care. You will support the community-based service providers by helping to prepare the patient to receive more intensive, specialized treatment; and you will continue to monitor progress through re-assessments and regular dialogue with the patient as services continue. In many cases, you will act as a liaison between the service providers and the courts.
