Background: (see attachments for additional information on this role)

Wellness Equity Alliance (WEA) is a novel national public health organization comprised of a multidisciplinary team of population and public health experts with backgrounds in infectious disease, public health, emergency medicine, primary care, cardiology, pediatrics, psychiatry, community health work (CHW), nursing and advanced practice pharmacy. We work nearly exclusively with underrepresented communities, fundamentally addressing health-care disparities and the social determinants of health (SDoH) that have been amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritizing the following: 

● People experiencing homelessness 

● Indigenous communities 

● Immigrant communities 

● Rural communities 

● BIPoC communities 

● LGBTQIA+ communities 

● Justice-impacted communities 

The WEA team is diverse, inclusive, and nimble enough to assemble teams of healthcare professionals within days using our proven local staff recruitment models to address population health crises and communicable disease outbreaks. The WEA team’s partnership model is collaborative and allows hospitals, health jurisdictions, state/local government agencies to provide timely care using equity-based strategies for individuals and marginalized communities. Prior to our work as WEA, we were part of a team of healthcare professionals and operations experts that built and carried out a nationwide mass 

Our team administered over 2 million vaccines in 10 states, with a focus on health equity and community partnership. Our core mission is to address the healthcare disparities and SDoH that have been magnified during the COVID-19 pandemic.
