The Care Coordination Progam is a new DOH program that's kind of in its pilot stage, so it's ever-changing but also exciting to be part of.  It's a very diverse position with a balance of direct patient care, program management and supervision of field-based staff.  Some clinical work though not ongoing psychotherapy.  We have two openings - one in Harlem and one in the Bronx (not too far in).  Bilingual a plus but not required.  Anyone who is interested can email me at ahest...@institute2000.org if they have questions, or can send cover letters and resumes directly to program director Liz Bodman at ebo...@institute2000.org.
