What would you do?

As a Health Care Navigator you would be helping veterans and their families who are either literally homeless or at risk of homelessness in order to coordinate them with medical support. This includes helping apply for VA medical, or Medicaid/Medicare, obtaining Primary Care providers and Mental Health providers for the veteran or family members, and coordinating to ensure the participants have full access to available medical assistance. You will be following up with the veteran to assure they make their appointments, following the medical provider’s recommendations, etc.
